Hy guys. Can please someone help me. When I start the program I have an error: Error: Unexpected MATLAB operator.
%Tadej Trinko; three-dimensional antenna array pattern

Thank you for any advice or comment.

Hi Tadej, In this for loop
for I=1:N
R=An(I)*exp(1j.*(Ep+Jp(I)));
Ep=B*((Xn(I).*cos(PHI).*sin(THETA))+(Yn(I).*sin(THETA).*sin(PHI))+(Zn(I).*cos(THETA)));
end
You attempt to access the value of Ep the first time through the loop before it has been assigned a value. Perhaps you just need to swap the two lines and place the Ep= assignment before the R=
Also, do you know about the new Phased Array System Toolbox? That toolbox will greatly enhance your ability to design antennas and model phased array systems.

Phased Array System Toolbox is released in R2011a so you will need R2011a to use it. HTH.

Which line does it complain about, and which column?:
I am not sure that 1j can be used to mean 1 times the imaginary unit. I know 1i can be used. As you defined j as sqrt(-1) it would seem to be more consistent for you to use 1*j in that location.
Your second "for" loop, the one with the comment "calculate the array factor", does not store its results, and does not use the results in further computation. That is going to cause R and Ep to be overwritten during each iteration of the loop, and so will contain only a single value at the end of the loop.
I would suggest that you want R(I)= ... and Ep(I) = ... but the Ep expression appears to have a vector result, so at the very least it would have to be Ep(I,:) or Ep(:,I). I also see that If you were to use R(I) then R would end up of length N, but R is then .* by trig array values that are 361 x 181 so multiplying by a vector R of length N is problematic.
Your code appears to be incomplete and incorrect.

You are correct Walter. Everytime I get error:
??? Subscripted assignment dimension mismatch.
Error in ==> Array3Dex6 at 31
Ep(:,I)= B.*((Xn(I).*cos(PHI).*sin(THETA))+(Yn(I).*sin(THETA).*sin(PHI))+(Zn(I).*cos(THETA)));

Is there any different way to avoid error?
