Set the polarization values for a receiver or transmitter (Deprecated Command)
Comm <ObjectPath> Polarize [MultiBeam <BeamID>] {PolarizationParams}
Note: This command was deprecated in STK 9, it should no longer be used. This command has been replaced by the Receiver and Transmitter commands.
The Comm Connect commands were enhanced in STK 9 to make use of attributes and to simplify the format required to use these commands. For more information on using the new format see Transitioning to the New Transmitter Format and Transitioning to the New Receiver Format.
The Comm Polarize command allows you to set the orientation of the electric field vector with reference to a receiver's or transmitter's orientation. To set polarization values for a specific beam of a multibeam antenna, include MultiBeam <BeamID> before you specify the polarization options to be set.
Note: <BeamID> is case-sensitive.
{PolarizationParams} can be:
| {PolarizationParams} |
|---|
| None |
| RightHand [PolLeak <Value>] |
| LeftHand [PolLeak <Value>] |
| Vertical {X | Y | Z} [PolLeak <Value>] |
| Horizontal {X | Y | Z} [PolLeak <Value>] |
| Linear {X | Y | Z} <TiltAngle> [PolLeak <Value>] |
| Elliptical {X | Y | Z} <TiltAngle> <AxialRatio> [PolLeak <Value>] |
<TiltAngle> is entered in degrees
Use the PolLeak <Value> option to set the polarization leakage value for Receivers. The <Value> is entered in dB and should be between -9999.9 and -0.001.
Note: The PolLeak <Value> option is valid for Receivers only.
To set polarization for the Test transmitter so that it is elliptically polarized around the X axis, with a tilt angle of 2.12 and an axial ratio of 4:
Comm *Scen/Satellite/ERS1/Transmitter/Test Polarize Elliptical X 2.12 4
If activated, Connect returns an acknowledgement message.
