MATLAB: How to configure a partitioned array into 4 quadrants where I can feed each quadrant to a receiver to feed amonopulse rat-race hybrid to get Sum and difference Az and El.

I configured an array into 4 quadrants. But I have not found a way to get an output from each quadrant to feed separate receivers that will feed a rat-race hybrid for monopulse sum and difference signals to a control loop. Is there a way to do this?

If you specify the array in a phased.Collector or phased.WidebandCollector, you will be able to access the output signal at each quadrant. Have you tried that approach? If so, have you encounter any issue there? Thanks.

MATLAB: In which quadrant is a point

The four quadrants are characterized by the following conditions (if the center of the circle is at (0,0)):

I quadrant: y<=x, y>=-x
II quadrant: y>=x y>=-x 
III quadrant: y<=x, y>=-x 
IV quadrant: y<=x, y<=-x

Use an if-statement to determine which quadrant the point under consideration is in.

MATLAB: [PhasedArrayToolbox] IsotropicAntenna directivity issue

Hi Vitaly,

You are right that the theoretical vale is 0 dBi. The directivity computation in this case is done using numerical integration with one degree spacing in both azimuth and elevation directions so the result is not exact.
