MATLAB: Is it possible to create an L-shaped phased array using the Phased Array Toolbox

arbitrary arrayarrayl-shapedphasedPhased Array System Toolboxula

Ideally i would like to create two L-shaped phased arrays, which would comprise of three ULAs each on one of the x,y,z axis, having N elements each and also having the same element as origin at point (0,0,0). Is it possible to do that using the Phased Array System Toolbox?
Thank you

Yes you can use Phased Array System Toolbox to do this, here is a small example to show that
d = 0.5;
N = 4;
pos_along_x = (0:N-1)*d;
pos_along_y = (1:N-1)*d;
pos_along_z = (1:N-1)*d;
pos = [[pos_along_x zeros(1,2*(N-1))];...
   [zeros(1,N) pos_along_y zeros(1,N-1)];...
   [zeros(1,2*N-1) pos_along_z]];
my_array = phased.ConformalArray('ElementPosition',pos);
viewArray(my_array);
