biquad
Create biquad or double-biquad antenna
Description
The biquad
antenna is center fed and symmetric about its
origin. The default length is chosen for an operating frequency of 2.8
GHz.
The width of the strip is related to the diameter an equivalent cylinder:
, where:
d is the diameter of equivalent cylindrical dipole.
r is the radius of equivalent cylindrical dipole.
For a given cylinder radius, use the cylinder2strip
utility function to calculate the equivalent width. The
default strip dipole is center-fed. The feed point coincides with the origin. The origin
is located on the yz- plane.
Creation
Description
creates a biquad
antenna.bq
= biquad
creates a
biquad antenna with additional properties specified by one or more
name-value pair arguments. bq
= biquad(Name,Value)Name
is the property name and
Value
is the corresponding value. You can specify
several name-value pair arguments in any order as Name1
,
Value1
, ...
,
NameN
, ValueN
. Properties not
specified retain their default values.
