Detailed Description

interface for antenna radiation pattern models

This class provides an interface for the definition of antenna radiation pattern models. This interface is based on the use of spherical coordinates, in particular of the azimuth and inclination angles. This choice is the one proposed "Antenna Theory - Analysis and Design", C.A. Balanis, Wiley, 2nd Ed., see in particular section 2.2 "Radiation pattern".

This type is not accessible from the Config system.
No Attributes are defined for this type.
No TraceSources are defined for this type.

Member Function Documentation

virtual double ns3::AntennaModel::GetGainDb ( Angles a )

pure virtual

this method is expected to be re-implemented by each antenna model

Parameters

a	the spherical angles at which the radiation pattern should be evaluated

Returns: the power gain in dBi of the antenna radiation pattern at the specified angles; dBi means dB with respect to the gain of an isotropic radiator. Since a power gain is used, the efficiency of the antenna is expected to be included in the gain value.

Implemented in ns3::ParabolicAntennaModel, ns3::CosineAntennaModel, and ns3::IsotropicAntennaModel.

Referenced by ns3::SingleModelSpectrumChannel::StartTx(), and ns3::MultiModelSpectrumChannel::StartTx().
