hornConicalCorrugated
Description
The hornConicalCorrugated
object creates a conical
corrugated-horn antenna, with grooves covering the inner surface of the cone. These
antennas are widely used as feed horns for dish reflector antennas as they have smaller
side lobes and low cross-polarization level.
Creation
Description
creates a corrugated conical-horn antenna object with default dimensions for
an operating frequency around 9.5 GHz.ant
= hornConicalCorrugated
sets properties using one or more name-value pairs. For example,
ant
= hornConicalCorrugated(Name,Value)ant = hornConicalCorrugated('Radius',1)
, creates a
conical corrugated-horn antenna with a radius of 1 meter.
