array
Description
sets the properties of the array using one or more name-value
arguments.pcbArr
= array(___,Name=Value
)
Examples
Create a PCB antenna from a circular microstrip patch antenna using the pcbStack
object.
ant = patchMicrostripCircular(Substrate=dielectric("FR4"));
pcbAnt = pcbStack(ant);
show(pcbAnt)
Create a linear array of the antenna using the array
function.
pcbArr = array(pcbAnt,"linear",NumElements=5,ElementSpacing=0.2);
show(pcbArr)
Create a PCB antenna using pcbStack
object.
pcbAnt = pcbStack
pcbAnt = pcbStack with properties: Name: 'MyPCB' Revision: 'v1.0' BoardShape: [1×1 antenna.Rectangle] BoardThickness: 0.0100 Layers: {[1×1 antenna.Rectangle] [1×1 antenna.Rectangle]} FeedLocations: [-0.0187 0 1 2] FeedDiameter: 1.0000e-03 ViaLocations: [] ViaDiameter: [] FeedViaModel: 'strip' FeedVoltage: 1 FeedPhase: 0 Conductor: [1×1 metal] Tilt: 0 TiltAxis: [1 0 0] Load: [1×1 lumpedElement]
pcbAnt.Layers{1} = pcbAnt.Layers{1} - antenna.Rectangle(Length=7e-3,Width=7e-3);
pcbAnt.Layers{1} = pcbAnt.Layers{1} - antenna.Circle(Radius=5e-3,Center=[20e-3,0]);
d = dielectric("FR4");
d.Thickness = pcbAnt.BoardThickness;
pcbAnt.Layers{2} = d;
pcbAnt.Layers{3} = antenna.Rectangle(Length=0.15,Width=0.075);
pcbAnt.FeedLocations(end) = 3;
show(pcbAnt)
Create a 4-by-4 rectangular array of PCB antennas.
pcbArr = array(pcbAnt,"rectangular",Size=[4 4],ColumnSpacing=0.1,RowSpacing=0.2);
show(pcbArr)
Create a PCB antenna from a triangular patch microstrip antenna using the pcbStack
object.
ant = patchMicrostripTriangular(Substrate=dielectric("FR4"));
pcbAnt = pcbStack(ant);
Create a circular array of the PCB antenna.
pcbArr = array(pcbAnt,"circular",Radius=0.03);
show(pcbArr)
Input Arguments
PCB antenna, specified as a pcbStack
object.
Example: pcbStack
Type of array configuration, specified as a string. The array configuration can be:
linear
- Creates a default 2 element linear array with a spacing of 2 meters between the elements.rectangular
- Creates a default 2-by-2 rectangular array with row and column spacing of 2 meters each.circular
- Creates a default six element circular array with a radius of 1 meter and an offset angle of 0 degrees.
Example: "linear"
Data Types: string
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: NumElements=4
Linear Array
Number of the antenna elements in the array, specified as a positive integer.
Example: 4
Spacing between the antenna elements, specified as a positive scalar or positive vector in meters. By default, the elements are spaced 2 meters apart. Use scalar for uniform and vector for non-uniform spacing between the antenna elements.
Example: 3
Example: [3 2]
Data Types: double
Rectangular Array
Number of the antenna elements in the row and column of the array, specified as a two-element vector.
Example: [4 4]
Row spacing between the two antenna elements, specified as a scalar or vector in meters. By default, the antenna elements are spaced 2 meters apart. Use scalar for uniform and vector for non uniform spacing between the antenna elements.
Example: 0.1
Example: [2 1]
Data Types: double
Column spacing between the two antenna elements, specified as a positive scalar or positive vector in meters. By default, the antenna elements are spaced 2 meters apart. Use scalar for uniform and vector for non uniform spacing between the antenna elements.
Example: 0.1
Example: [2 1]
Data Types: double
Circular Array
Number of elements in the array, specified as a positive integer. The elements in the array are arranged along the X-axis.
Example: 4
Data Types: double
Radius of the array, specified as a positive scalar in meters.
Example: 0.4
Data Types: double
Offset angle for the first element in the array, specified as a real scalar in degrees.
Example: 8
Data Types: double
Output Arguments
Array of the PCB antenna elements, returned as a pcbStack
object.
