Hi:
How to plot the non-normalized radiation-pattern of the 2-element ULA while total power out of the ULA is equal to the One isotropic element which is radiating the same power as that of 2 Element ULA.
In other words, How to calculate the total power radiated by a ULA using phased array toolbox.
NOTE: I know how to calculate analytically the total power output of ULA, I am interested in calculating using the phased array toolbox.
CODE is given below.
____________________________________________________________________________
clear all;close all; s=1/8; %spacing between elements
a=180; %phase angle
c=cosd(a)+sind(a)*i; %weight of 2nd element
hant = phased.IsotropicAntennaElement(... 'FrequencyRange',[3e8 1e9]);ha = phased.ULA('Element',hant,'NumElements',2,'ElementSpacing',s,'Taper',[1 ,c]);fc = 3e8;ang = [0;0]; resp = step(ha,[3e8],ang);c = physconst('LightSpeed');plotResponse(ha,[fc 1e9],c,'RespCut','Az','Unit','mag','Format','Polar','NormalizeResponse',false)
