Data Provider Elements
| Name | Dimension | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Antenna Type | Unitless | Text | Reports out which antenna type has been selected(i.e. Pencil Beam, Gaussian, Parabolic, Aperture, Dipole, etc.). |
| Antenna Info | Unitless | Text | Reports out the specific antenna data that is associated with the particular antenna type that is selected. This depends on the antenna type chosen but can include values for efficiency, dimension, gain, etc. |
| Antenna User Comment | Unitless | Text | The user comment for the antenna components. |
| Orientation | Unitless | Text | Reports out which orientation method is used in defining the bore-sight direction (i.e. AzEl, Quaternion, Euler angles, YPR angles). The different methods are available for specifying the direction in which the sensor or antenna is pointing, with respect to the reference frame. The options available and the data that you provide depend on the Orientation Method selected. Each method defines orientation of a sensor or antenna with respect to another coordinate frame, a reference frame. The reference frame is fixed in the sensor's or antenna's parent object (e.g. vehicle or facility). |
| Orientation Info | Unitless | Text | Reports out the specific data which applies to the chosen orientation method (i.e. QX, QY, QZ, QS). |
| Beam ID | Unitless | Text | Reports out the unique Beam ID assigned to each new beam which can consist of any combination of characters. A default ID will be assigned to a new beam when you insert one, as well as to a copy that you create via duplication. |
