Syntax

pat = winner2.dipole(az)
pat = winner2.dipole(az,slant)

Description

Download Required: To use winner2.dipole, first download the WINNER II Channel Model for Communications Toolbox add-on.

pat = winner2.dipole(az) returns the azimuth field pattern of a 0-degree slanted dipole at the azimuth angles specified in az.

pat = winner2.dipole(az,slant) returns the azimuth field pattern of a slanted dipole at the azimuth angles specified in az.

This example uses:

Open Live Script

Create 45 and 90 degree slanted dipoles by using the winner2.dipole function.

az = -180:179; % 1 degree spacing
pattern45 = squeeze(winner2.dipole(az,45));
pattern90 = squeeze(winner2.dipole(az,90));

Display the antenna pattern by using the polarplot function.

fh = figure; 
set(fh, 'Position', [100 100 1000 500]); 
fh.Name = 'Dipole Pattern Plots';
subplot(1,2,1); 
polarplot(az/180*pi,pattern45(1,:),'r'); 
hold on;
polarplot(az/180*pi,pattern90(1,:),'b'); 
rlim([0 1.5]);
legend('45 degree','90 degree'); 
title('Vertical'); 

subplot(1,2,2); 
polarplot(az/180*pi,pattern45(2,:),'r'); 
hold on; 
polarplot(az/180*pi,pattern90(2,:),'b'); 
rlim([0 1.5]);
legend('45 degree','90 degree'); 
title('Horizontal');

Figure Dipole Pattern Plots contains 2 axes objects. Polaraxes object 1 contains 2 objects of type line. These objects represent 45 degree, 90 degree. Polaraxes object 2 contains 2 objects of type line. These objects represent 45 degree, 90 degree.

Input Arguments

collapse all

Azimuth angles, specified as a vector indicating the azimuth angles to compute the field pattern gain. Units are in degrees.

Data Types: double

Slant angle, specified as a scalar representing the counterclockwise angle seen from the front of the dipole. Units are in degrees.

Data Types: double

Output Arguments

collapse all

Field pattern, returned as a 2-by-1-by-NAZ array representing the vertical and horizontal field pattern, where NAZ is the number of elements in the az input vector.
