MATLAB: Help in starting the code of phased antenna arrays

Question

Hi, can anyone help me with starting to write a code that would apply the following. Phased array model for Omni antennas at 60GHz to produce array pattern.

Would really appreciate it. Thank you

Hi,

• Initially you have to create an Antenna element using the objects from this page. For your case of omnidirectional you can utilize either the phased.OmnidirectionalMicrophoneElement or phased.CustomAntennaElement and define it according to your needs.
• Then you can pick an array of your choice from the following Phased Array Objects and modify the properties to get the required Phased Array of your choice.
• Finally, you can utilise the pattern function to compute the Array Pattern.

You can refer the following example to better understand the above steps.

Additionally if you want to use Antenna Toolbox objects in Phased Array System Toolbox, refer the following page.

Hope this helps!
