Syntax

flag = isPolarizationCapable(h)

Description

flag = isPolarizationCapable(h) returns a Boolean value, flag, indicating whether the array supports polarization. An array supports polarization if all of its constituent sensor elements support polarization.

Input Arguments

Show that an array of short-dipole antenna element supports polarization.

antenna1 = phased.ShortDipoleAntennaElement('FrequencyRange',[100e6 1e9], ...
    'AxisDirection','Z');
antenna2 = phased.ShortDipoleAntennaElement('FrequencyRange',[100e6 1e9],...
    'AxisDirection','Y');
array = phased.HeterogeneousURA('ElementSet',{antenna1,antenna2}, ...
    'ElementIndices',[1 2 2 2 1 ; 1 2 2 2 1]);
