This option allows the user to create a reflector with a rectangular aperture area
and with the size to give the selected gain. When this option is selected, or the
"equivalentAntenna" command is called without parameters, the following panel will
be shown:Figure 1. Equivalent Antenna Panel
Frequency: Specify the antenna’s working frequency, given
in the desired unit. (By default will be in GHz).
Gain: Indicates the antenna’s resulting gain, in
dBi.
Simple Antenna: Creates a simple antenna with a feeding
point over it.
Simple Monopulse: Create two rectangular reflectors for
simple monopulse (only one plane) applications.
Full Monopulse: Create four rectangular reflectors for
full monopulse (two planes) applications.
Feed with pattern File: Indicate the antenna feeding via
.dia file (diagram). If selected, a new
.dia file will be generated alongside the antenna.
Additionally, a preview of the antenna (using the current parameters of the panel) is
shown in the geometry panel. This preview will be shown in green and will be updated
everytime a parameter is modified in the panel.Figure 2. Equivalent Antenna Previsualization (Simple Antenna)
