  • AntennaResult:
    It contains the information about the parameters relevant for the antenna, for instance the height, azimuth and elevation angles as well as the local environment and position it is placed at
  • Double v:
    It is the peak gain of the antenna.


There are basically two options to create antenna plugins:

  • Static:
    The plugin predefines static values of the antenna pattern and uses these for the calculation of the gain. You can, in addition, edit (i.e. modify / replace) the values on the system and / or antenna library level.
  • Dynamic:
    The plugin dynamically calculates the antenna pattern (e.g. ITU-R Recommendation like ITU-R F.1336 etc…) using these for the calculation of the gain.
