Syntax

flag = isPolarizationCapable(h)

Description

flag = isPolarizationCapable(h) returns a Boolean value, flag, indicating whether the phased.IsotropicAntennaElement System object™ supports polarization. An antenna element supports polarization if it can create or respond to polarized fields. This object does not support polarization.

Input Arguments

expand all

Isotropic antenna element specified as a phased.IsotropicAntennaElement System object.

Output Arguments

expand all

Polarization-capability returned as a Boolean value true if the antenna element supports polarization or false if it does not. Since the phased.IsotropicAntennaElement object does not support polarization, flag is always returned as false.

Open Live Script

Create an isotropic antenna element using the phased.IsotropicAntennaElement System object™ and show that it does not support polarization.

antenna = phased.IsotropicAntennaElement('FrequencyRange',[1.0,10]*1e9);
isPolarizationCapable(antenna)
ans = logical
   0

The returned value 0 shows that the antenna element does not support polarization.
