Antenna Properties describe the Antenna
type, specific parameters associated with the antenna and the
orientation in quaternions.

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. |

| 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. |
