WinProp_Pattern

Data Fields

Detailed Description

This structure is used for the definition of the antenna pattern. It is used in WinProp_Antenna. Information: If "Filename" is not NULL, this pattern is loaded and used. If "Filename" is NULL and "NrVertical" and "NrHorizontal" is not 0, the values from the vertical and horizontal patterns are used to determine the 3D pattern. If "NrVertical" and "NrHorizontal" are 0, the values of the 3D pattern in "Gain3D" and "Phase3D" are considered. This means the following priority: Load from file => 2x2D pattern => 3D pattern.

Orientation of Antenna Pattern Orientation of pattern is as follows.

Field Documentation

Mode

int WinProp_Pattern::Mode

Mode for data in pattern:

• PATTERN_MODE_2X2D = From 2x 2D pattern
• PATTERN_MODE_3D = From 3D pattern
• PATTERN_MODE_FILE = From file

Filename

WinProp_Filename WinProp_Pattern::Filename

Filename of the supported antenna pattern, if it should be read from file. If this is NULL, the antenna pattern data is available in the following variables.

CompoFilename

WinProp_Filename WinProp_Pattern::CompoFilename

Filename of the supported antenna pattern contained in the component database

NrVertical

int WinProp_Pattern::NrVertical

Number of points in vertical direction.

AnglesVertical

double * WinProp_Pattern::AnglesVertical

Array with angles for vertical pattern. The orientation of the antenna is described in the figure below.

GainVertical

double * WinProp_Pattern::GainVertical

Array with gain values (dBi) for vertical pattern.

NrHorizontal

int WinProp_Pattern::NrHorizontal

Number of points in horizontal direction.

AnglesHorizontal

double * WinProp_Pattern::AnglesHorizontal

Array with angles for horizontal pattern. The orientation of the antenna is described in the figure below.

GainHorizontal

double * WinProp_Pattern::GainHorizontal

Array with gain values (dBi) for horizontal pattern.

Gain3D

double ** WinProp_Pattern::Gain3D

Array with gain values (dBi) for 3D pattern. This array must have the exact size of 180 vertical elements and 360 horizontal elements. This means that only patterns with 1 degree resolution are supported.

Phase3D

double ** WinProp_Pattern::Phase3D

Array with phase values (rad) for 3D pattern. This array must have the exact size of 180 vertical elements and 360 horizontal elements. This means that only patterns with 1 degree resolution are supported.

Resolution3D

WINPROP_PATTERN_RESOLUTION WinProp_Pattern::Resolution3D

Pattern resolution in degree, only relevant for patterns read from file (Mode is set to PATTERN_MODE_FILE).See also WINPROP_PATTERN_RESOLUTION
