Create a single arm rectangular spiral antenna with a total arm length of 291 mm.

ant = spiralRectangular(NumArms=1, NumTurns=3, InitialLength=4.5e-3,...
              InitialWidth=4.5e-3, Spacing=3.3e-3, StripWidth=1.2e-3);
nT = rectspirallength2turns(ant,291e-3);
ant.NumTurns = nT;

Input Arguments

collapse all

Rectangular spiral antenna, specified as a spiralRectangular object.

Total length of the rectangular spiral antenna arm, specified as a scalar in meters. In case of dual arm, the input takes the length of any one of the arms.

Example: 33e-3

Output Arguments
