Open Live Script

Create a DipoleHelix antenna object at 2 GHz and compute the impedance.

w = design(dipoleHelix,2e9);
Z = impedance(w,2e9);

Create an STL file for DipoleHelix antenna object .

stlwrite(w,'dipoleHelix_2GHz.stl')

You will see the dipoleHelix_2GHz.stl file in your current folder.

Load dipoleHelix_2GHz.stl and visualize the platform.

plat = platform('FileName','dipoleHelix_2GHz.stl','Units','m')
plat = 
  platform with properties:

         FileName: 'dipoleHelix_2GHz.stl'
            Units: 'm'
    UseFileAsMesh: 0
             Tilt: 0
         TiltAxis: [1 0 0]


show(plat)

Figure contains an axes object. The axes object with title Platform object contains 2 objects of type patch. This object represents PEC.

Input Arguments
