PatternPlotOptions

Create option list to customize 3-D radiation pattern for pattern overlay option

Syntax

patternplot = PatternPlotOptions

patternplot = PatternPlotOptions(Name=Value)

Description

patternplot = PatternPlotOptions creates an option list for a 3-D radiation pattern for pattern overlay option.

patternplot = PatternPlotOptions(Name=Value) returns a pattern plot option list based on the properties specified as name-value arguments. Properties that you do not specify retain their default values.

Examples

Radiation Pattern of Helix Antenna

Plot the radiation pattern of a helix antenna with transparency specified as 0.5.

p = PatternPlotOptions

p = 
  PatternPlotOptions with properties:

      Transparency: 1
         SizeRatio: 0.9000
    MagnitudeScale: []
     AntennaOffset: [0 0 0]

p.Transparency = 0.5;
ant = helix;
pattern(ant,2e9,patternOptions=p)

To understand the effect of Transparency, chose Overlay Antenna in the radiation pattern plot.

This option overlays the helix antenna on the radiation pattern.

Name-Value Arguments

Specify optional pairs of arguments as Name1=Value1,...,NameN=ValueN, where Name is the argument name and Value is the corresponding value. Name-value arguments must appear after other arguments, but the order of the pairs does not matter.

Example: Transparency=0.1

Transparency — Transparency of 3-D radiation pattern

0.8000 (default) | positive scalar

Transparency of the 3-D radiation pattern, specified as a scalar value between 0 and 1.

Example: 0.5

Data Types: double

SizeRatio — Relative size of antenna to radiation pattern

0.9000 (default) | positive scalar

Relative size of the antenna to the radiation pattern, specified as a positive scalar.

Example: 1

Data Types: double

AntennaOffset — Position of antenna with pattern center as origin

[0 0 0] (default) | three-element vector

Position of the antenna with the pattern center as the origin, specified as a three-element vector of [x, y, z] coordinates.

Example: [1,0,0]

Data Types: double

MagnitudeScale — Scale of radiation pattern

two-element vector

Scale of the radiation pattern, specified as a two-element vector of minimum magnitude and maximum magnitude. If this property is empty, the radiation pattern plot is of the full range magnitude.

Example: [0,1]

Data Types: double
