Antenna Gain
Antenna Gain provides Antenna Gain vs. Elevation Angle (or Theta). Inputs required before the report is created include the range of elevation angles (or Theta) and the fixed value of azimuth angle (or phi) that the user is interested in seeing.Available for these objects: Antenna, Radar, Receiver, Transmitter
Type: Fixed data. Intended to be used only with elements from this same data provider.
Availability: Reports | Graphs
Pre-data required: "GainCutType { Azimuth | Elevation } {Parameters}". {Parameters} can be entered in any order. If GainCutType is Azimuth, then the following {Parameters} are required: MinElevation <Value> MaxElevation <Value> ElevationStep <Value> AzimuthValue <Value>. If GainCutType is Elevation, then the following {Parameters} are required: MinAzimuth <Value> MaxAzimuth <Value> AzimuthStep <Value> ElevationValue <Value>. In both cases, the following {Parameters} are optional: Time '<DateTimeValue>' CoordinateSystem { Polar | Rectangular | 'Spherical Az/El' | 'UV Grid' | 'Elev Over Azi'}. All above <Value> are entered in scenario angle units. The Min, Max, AzimuthValue and ElevationValue values should be between 0 and 360 degrees. The Min must be less than the Max. The Step value should be between 0.001 and 30.0 degrees. The Time option allows the user to enter the time of the computation. If not entered the current scenario animation time will be used. If entered, the '<DateTimeValue>' is either in Object Model Date units (when using Object Model) or Scenario Date units, and is enclosed in single quotes.
Data Provider Elements
| Name | Dimension | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Elevation | Angle | Real Number or Text | The angle between the antenna boresight vector and the vector in the direction of the computed gain value, both in the antenna coordinate system. |
| Azimuth | Angle | Real Number or Text | Azimuth angle of the slice. |
| Gain | Ratio | Real Number | Reports out the gain of the antenna at the corresponding elevation. |
| GainMatrix | Unitless | Text | Reports a matrix of gain values for a corresponding range of elevation and azimuth pairs. The report is arranged with elevation angle as the rows of the matrix and azimuth angle as the columns of the matrix. |
