ParabolicAntenna
compound moduleThis model is based on a parabolic approximation of the main lobe radiation pattern. A similar model appears in
George Calcev and Matt Dillon, "Antenna Tilt Control in CDMA Networks" in Proc. of the 2nd Annual International Wireless Internet Conference (WICON), 2006
though the latter addresses also the elevation plane, which the present model doesn't.
