This antenna model computes the antenna gain from the direction using linear interpolation. The gain parameter contains a sequence of angles [degree] and gains [dB] pairs. The first pair must be at 0 [degree].

The following diagram shows inheritance relationships for this type. Unresolved types are missing from the diagram.

Extends

Name	Type	Description
AntennaBase	compound module	Serves as the base module for antenna models.

Parameters

Name	Type	Default value	Description
displayStringTextFormat	string	""	Determines the text that is written on top of the submodule, supports displaying pars, watches, and module-specific information
mobilityModule	string		The path to the mobility module relative to this module, only used if no mobility submodule is present
numAntennas	int	1	The number of antennas in the antenna array
baseGain	double	0dB
gains	string	"0 0"	Sequence of angles [degree] in the range (0, 180) and gain [dB] pairs
axisOfSymmetry	string	"x"	Allows matching the antenna radiation pattern (IAntennaGain) to the visual representation, antenna orientation is determined by the antenna's mobility model
