Select an Array Factor (
) dataset, found under the
More Datasets submenu, to define array factors for use in radiation pattern plots in RF simulations of antenna arrays, simplifying the analysis for a periodic antenna array. You can choose an Array Factor dataset as the dataset for the input data in
Radiation Pattern plots.
Select a Dataset for the data to be the input to the average factor computation.
From the Plane list, choose the plane for the array factor:
xy-plane (the default),
yz-plane, or
zx-plane.
From the two columns (for example, x and
y, if
xy-plane was selected), enter the following properties, which are used when transforming the expression under
Evaluation:
In the Function field, enter an expression to evaluate, typically
emw1.af3, using the
af3 function for a uniform three-dimensional array factor (requires a license for the RF Module).
Select the Normalization check box if you want the evaluation to be normalized with respect to the number of power inputs, which can be, for example, a single power input or one power input for each antenna in the antenna array.
