How do i change the antenna type in this matlab code?

3 views (last 30 days)
I am trying to change the antenna type used in this code. I tried to debug but i am not able to understand what syntax i must use to repalce the isotropic antenna with another. I am posting the code:
clear; clc;
viewer = siteviewer("Buildings","UoS.osm");
Latitudes = [51.2436, 51.2360];
Longitudes = [-0.6160, -0.6056];
BaseStation = txsite("Name","BS",...
"Latitude", Latitudes, ...
"Longitude",Longitudes, ...
"AntennaHeight",10, ...
"TransmitterPower",30, ...
"TransmitterFrequency",3.5e9);
show(BaseStation);
pm = propagationModel("raytracing","MaxNumReflections",10);
coverage(BaseStation,pm, "SignalStrengths",-120:-5, ...
"MaxRange",200);

Hi Josyula,
I understand that you are trying to change the Antenna type from isotropic.
You have used ‘txsite’ to create radio frequency transmitter site. If you don’t specify antenna in the ‘txsite’ function, the default is isotropic antenna. You can check this by running the following script
BaseStation.Antenna
To change the type of Antennas to dipole, the following script can be used
Latitudes = [51.2436, 51.2360];
Longitudes = [-0.6160, -0.6056];
BaseStation = txsite("Name","BS",...
"Antenna",dipole,...
"Latitude", Latitudes, ...
"Longitude",Longitudes, ...
"AntennaHeight",10, ...
"TransmitterPower",30, ...
"TransmitterFrequency",3.5e9);
For more information, refer to the doc
Hope this solves your query.

Thankyou for suggesting but I have already tried that. If i change the antenna type to dipole i get the following errors.
