Planar / Linear Layout
This option defines the finite antenna array with a planar or linear distribution.
Figure 1. The FA - Finite array analysis dialog, with Planar/linear layout selected.
Parameters:
- Number of elements along X axis
- The number of finite antenna array elements along the X axis.
- Number of elements along Y axis
- The number of finite antenna array elements along the Y axis.
- Offset along X axis
- The distance between the finite antenna array elements along the X axis.
- Offset along Y axis
- The distance between the finite antenna array elements along the Y axis.
- Element excitation
- If the Uniform distribution or calculated from plane wave option is selected, the array elements will either have a uniform distribution or the distribution will be calculated from the plane wave if a plane wave is present in the model. If the Specify amplitude and phase for each element option is selected, the user can specify the excitation for each element.
- Magnitude scaling
- The excitation magnitude for the respective element is scaled relative to the base element.
- Phase offset (degrees)
- The phase offset in degrees for the respective element relative to the base element.
