AntennaArraySource

A finite antenna array element source.

Example

application = cf.Application.GetInstance()
project = application:NewProject()

    -- Add a line to use as the base object in the array

startPoint = cf.Point(0, 0, 0)
endPoint = cf.Point(1, 1, 0)
line = project.Contents.Geometry:AddLine(startPoint, endPoint)

    -- Use the GetProperties method to create the linear planar array

properties = cf.LinearPlanarArray.GetDefaultProperties()
properties.CountU = 4
properties.CountV = 3
properties.OffsetU = "1"

    -- Disable UniformSourceDistribution to add an AntennaArraySourceList

properties.UniformSourceDistributionEnabled = false
properties.Distribution[1].MagnitudeScaling = "2"
properties.Distribution[1].PhaseOffset = "1"
properties.Distribution[2] = {}
properties.Distribution[2].MagnitudeScaling = "2"
properties.Distribution[2].PhaseOffset = "1"
properties.Distribution[3] = {}
properties.Distribution[3].MagnitudeScaling = "3"
properties.Distribution[3].PhaseOffset = "1"
properties.Distribution[4] = {}
properties.Distribution[4].MagnitudeScaling = "1.0"
properties.Distribution[4].PhaseOffset = "1"
properties.Distribution[5] = {}
properties.Distribution[5].MagnitudeScaling = "4"
properties.Distribution[5].PhaseOffset = "4"
properties.Distribution[6] = {}
properties.Distribution[6].MagnitudeScaling = "1.0"
properties.Distribution[6].PhaseOffset = "0.0"
properties.Distribution[7] = {}
properties.Distribution[7].MagnitudeScaling = "1.0"
properties.Distribution[7].PhaseOffset = "0.0"
properties.Distribution[8] = {}
properties.Distribution[8].MagnitudeScaling = "1.0"
properties.Distribution[8].PhaseOffset = "0.0"
properties.Distribution[9] = {}
properties.Distribution[9].MagnitudeScaling = "1.0"
properties.Distribution[9].PhaseOffset = "0.0"
properties.Distribution[10] = {}
properties.Distribution[10].MagnitudeScaling = "1.0"
properties.Distribution[10].PhaseOffset = "0.0"
properties.Distribution[11] = {}
properties.Distribution[11].MagnitudeScaling = "1.0"
properties.Distribution[11].PhaseOffset = "0.0"
properties.Distribution[12] = {}
properties.Distribution[12].MagnitudeScaling = "1.0"
properties.Distribution[12].PhaseOffset = "0.0"

    -- Create the linear planar array

linearPlanarArray = project.Contents.SolutionSettings.AntennaArrays:AddPlanarArray(properties)
