By default, the function pattern plots the overall directivity.
First, the near surfaces is defined as a set of surfaces capturing all outgoing radiation in the desired directions. This means the radiation far from the source current. Ive measured an antenna with rotation stand and got results for phi, theta and measured power. This nanoantenna, which is composed of a set of small dielectric spheres, is designed to have a desired far field radiation pattern and polarization. To plot the directivity of the individual field components separately, use the polarization flag. Also known as the radiationzone field, the far field carries a relatively uniform wave pattern. Antenna designers use two approaches to the calculate correlation coefficient. The basis of the proposed method is expanding all electromagnetic waves into the series of vector spherical wave functions. The farfield radiation pattern can be used to design isolated antennas and antenna arrays, and you can estimate the effects of adjacent structures by computing the array pattern of antenna. The far field radiation pattern can also be calculated from the antenna shape by computer programs such as nec. Antenna radiation pattern near field vs far field radiation. The nearto far field transformation feature is demonstrated using four different examples.
