Display Antenna Structure

Open Live Script

This example shows how to create a vivaldi antenna and display the antenna structure.

h = vivaldi

h = 
  vivaldi with properties:

             TaperLength: 0.2430
           ApertureWidth: 0.1050
             OpeningRate: 25
           SlotLineWidth: 5.0000e-04
          CavityDiameter: 0.0240
    CavityToTaperSpacing: 0.0230
       GroundPlaneLength: 0.3000
        GroundPlaneWidth: 0.1250
              FeedOffset: -0.1045
               Conductor: [1x1 metal]
                    Tilt: 0
                TiltAxis: [1 0 0]
                    Load: [1x1 lumpedElement]

show(h)

Figure contains an axes. The axes with title vivaldi antenna element contains 3 objects of type patch, surface. These objects represent PEC, feed.

Show Circle Shape

Open Live Script

Create a circular shape and visualize the filled regions.

c  = antenna.Circle;
show(c);

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

`object` — Antenna or array object
scalar handle

Antenna or array object, specified as a scalar handle.

`shape` — Shape created using custom elements and shape objects
object handle

Shape created using custom elements and shape objects of Antenna Toolbox, specified as an object handle. You can create the shapes using antenna.Circle, antenna.Polygon, or antenna.Rectangle.

Example: c = antenna.Rectangle; show(c)
