installed antenna and large structures -凯发k8网页登录
installed antenna analysis involves electrically large structures called platforms. these platforms can be a plane, ship, car etc. antennas or arrays are installed on these platforms. you can use antenna toolbox™ to understand the effects of platform on antenna performance.
use antenna elements to create infinite arrays, analyze the arrays over the desired range of scan angles, and calculate scan element patterns.
