To create or modify a library element containing parameters of a particular antenna, select the Antennas command from the Library pull-down menu or directly with CTRL+SHIFT+A.
Since the antenna is implemented as a plugin, it is possible for you to include a new antenna plugin using the .jar installer and to add it to the list of existing pre-defined antennas (if you have not created any antennas before). Any of the antenna elements is then selectable as shown in the picture below:
Figure 295: Example of the antenna library
When adding a new antenna, you need to enter the name (unique identifier), description of the antenna as well as its technical parameters - peak gain and one or more radiation patterns, as necessary. See Annex A11.6 for further details.
Note 1: You can quickly see the antenna pattern with mouse-over capability on top of the pattern button
Figure 296: Quick over mouse preview of the pattern
Note 2: If none of the radiation patterns is checked, SEAMCAT will assume this being an omni-directional antenna.
Note 3: You can create an antenna from the workspace and export it to your library environment.
