dipoleVee
Create V-dipole antenna
Description
The dipoleVee
object is a planar V-dipole antenna in the
xy- plane.
The width of the dipole is related to the circular cross-section by the equation
, where:
d is the diameter of equivalent cylindrical pole
r is the radius of equivalent cylindrical pole
For a given cylinder radius, use the cylinder2strip
utility function to calculate the equivalent width. The
V-dipole antenna is bent around the feed point. The default V-dipole is center-fed and
is in the xy- plane. The feed point of the V-dipole antenna coincides
with the origin.
Creation
Description
creates a
half-wavelength V-dipole antenna.dv
= dipoleVee
creates
a half-wavelength V-dipole antenna, with additional properties specified by
one or more name-value pair arguments. dv
= dipoleVee(Name,Value)Name
is the
property name and Value
is the corresponding value. You
can specify several name-value pair arguments in any order as
Name1
, Value1
,
...
, NameN
,
ValueN
. Properties not specified retain their default
values.
