Model Infinite Ground Plane for Balanced Antennas
This example shows how to model an infinite ground plane and calculate fundamental antenna parameters for balanced antennas.
Create Antenna On Infinite Ground Plane
Create a reflector antenna on a ground plane of infinite length.
r = reflector(GroundPlaneLength=inf)
r = reflector with properties: Exciter: [1x1 dipole] Substrate: [1x1 dielectric] GroundPlaneLength: Inf GroundPlaneWidth: 0.2000 Spacing: 0.0750 EnableProbeFeed: 0 Conductor: [1x1 metal] Tilt: 0 TiltAxis: [1 0 0] Load: [1x1 lumpedElement]
