Determine whether a partitioned array of phased.ShortDipoleAntennaElements supports polarization.

antenna = phased.ShortDipoleAntennaElement('FrequencyRange',[1e9 10e9]);
ulaarray = phased.ULA(4,'Element',antenna);
partitionedarray = phased.PartitionedArray('Array',ulaarray,...
     'SubarraySelection',[1 1 0 0; 0 0 1 1]);
isPolarizationCapable(partitionedarray)
ans = logical
   1

The returned value 1 shows that this array supports polarization.
