Polarization capability

Syntax

flag = isPolarizationCapable(H)


Description

flag = isPolarizationCapable(H) returns a Boolean value, flag, indicating whether the array supports polarization. An array supports polarization when all of its constituent sensor elements support polarization.

Input Arguments

H — Uniform line array

System object™

Uniform line array specified as a phased.UCA System object.

Output Arguments

flag — Polarization-capability flag

boolean

Polarization-capability flag returned as a boolean value true when the array supports polarization or false when it does not.

Examples

Show UCA is Polarization Capable

Determine whether a UCA array of 7 short-dipole antenna elements supports polarization. The array radius is one-half meter.

antenna = phased.ShortDipoleAntennaElement('FrequencyRange',[1e9 10e9]);
array = phased.UCA('NumElements',7,'Radius',0.5,'Element',antenna);
isPolarizationCapable(array)

ans = logical
   1

The returned value 1 from isPolarizationCapable shows that a UCA of short-dipole antenna elements supports polarization.
