isPolarizationCapable

Polarization capability

Description

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

example

Examples

collapse all

Show that a circular conformal array of phased.ShortDipoleAntennaElement antenna elements supports polarization.

N = 8;
azang = (0:N-1)*360/N-180;
antenna = phased.ShortDipoleAntennaElement;
array = phased.ConformalArray(...
    'Element',antenna,'ElementPosition',[cosd(azang);sind(azang);zeros(1,N)],...
    'ElementNormal',[azang;zeros(1,N)]);
isPolarizationCapable(array)
ans = logical
   1

The returned value 1 shows that this array supports polarization.

Input Arguments

collapse all

Conformal array, specified as a phased.ConformalArray System object.

Output Arguments

collapse all

Polarization-capability flag, returned as a logical value true if the array supports polarization or false if it does not.
