Detailed Description

Antenna model based on a parabolic approximation of the main lobe radiation pattern.

Doxygen introspection did not find any typical Config paths.

This class implements the parabolic model as described in some 3GPP document, e.g., R4-092042

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.

Attributes

Beamwidth: The 3dB beamwidth (degrees)
- Set with class: ns3::DoubleValue
- Underlying type: double 0:180
- Initial value: 60
- Flags: construct write read
Orientation: The angle (degrees) that expresses the orientation of the antenna on the x-y plane relative to the x axis
- Set with class: ns3::DoubleValue
- Underlying type: double -360:360
- Initial value: 0
- Flags: construct write read
MaxAttenuation: The maximum attenuation (dB) of the antenna radiation pattern.
- Set with class: ns3::DoubleValue
- Underlying type: double -1.79769e+308:1.79769e+308
- Initial value: 20
- Flags: construct write read

double ns3::ParabolicAntennaModel::GetGainDb ( Angles a )

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.

Implements ns3::AntennaModel.
