Phi Settings

Phi Settings define the azimuth angle samples used by Directivity Monitor.

phi: Azimuth angle samples at which far-field radiation is evaluated.

Phi is measured around the global z-axis, relative to the local origin.

Range

Use Range mode to generate phi values between a minimum and maximum angle.

angle unit: Unit used for phi range values and generated phi samples.

• Options:
  • deg: Degrees. A full circle is 360 deg.
  • rad: Radians. A full circle is 2 pi rad.

angle range: Minimum and maximum phi values.

• Unit: selected angle unit

number of points: Number of phi samples.

• Type: integer
• Constraint: greater than 0

type: Spacing mode used to generate phi samples.

• Options:
  • Linear: Sample the phi range with evenly spaced angle points.
  • Log: Sample the phi range with logarithmically spaced angle points.

NOTE

For a full azimuth sweep, use [0, 360 deg] or [0, 2 pi rad] and sample enough points to obtain a smooth plot.

Custom

Use Custom mode to provide an explicit list of phi values.

angle unit: Unit used for entered and parsed phi samples.

• Options:
  • deg: Degrees. A full circle is 360 deg.
  • rad: Radians. A full circle is 2 pi rad.

input list: User-defined phi values.

• Type: list of numbers or variables separated by commas
• Unit: selected angle unit
• Required field
