The Antenna Pattern properties are organized into four subsections as shown in the CSV file examples Antenna Scan, Beam Width, Radiation Pattern, and Receiver Location (examples appear below).
The properties shown in the Antenna Scan example enable you to specify the type of antenna scan to use. The default antenna scan is none.
The properties shown in the antenna Beam Width example enable you to specify the horizontal and vertical 3 dB beam width. Additionally, you may specify the minimum amplitude level that the antenna scan can reach. The absolute minimum amplitude level the antenna scan can reach is hardware dependent.
The properties shown in the Radiation Pattern example contains three properties: the radiation type, the desired first side lobe level, and the roll off. Values are required for the first side lobe and the roll off properties only when you select Programmable radiation type. The default radiation pattern is rectangular.
The properties shown in the Receiver Location example set the receiver location relative to the main antenna beam at the start of the scan. Negative values for the horizontal or vertical receiver location mean that the receiver is never directly crossed by the main beam.
