Hello everyone,
I would like to know if there's a software/matlab code I could use in order to convert the pattern of an antenna element to a formula that can be plotted in Matlab. For example :
% element pattern of dipole antenna
g(theta) = abs((cos(pi*cos(deg2rad(theta))/2))/sin(deg2rad(theta)));
How is this formula obtained? I already have the array factor, but I need the element pattern in order to multiply and obtain the pattern of the whole array. Since I have no particular background in antenna design (I'm doing a science fair project), help would be very appreciated. My email: fgl_9309@hotmail.com
Thank you!
