MATLAB: Radar sector scanning!

Question

I want to scan from 0 to 45 degress azimuth scanning electronically. I made 1 degree beamwidth of 32dbi gain using 20 by 20 array. I couldn't understand radar scan URA example regarding the rotation of antenna. It states that rotational movement is not supported but howcome antenna scanned from -45 to 45? Any help

Answer 1

The example uses the electronic scanning, i.e., scanning the beam via changing the phase at each element. Also for simple rotation, it isn't too difficult to write one yourself. You just need to use a different orientation at each angle and then use rangeangle to compute the target angle relative to the array.
