Gain in horizontal plane: if a horizontal antenna pattern is defined, then
(Eq. 162)
Gain in vertical plane: if a vertical antenna pattern is defined, then:
(Eq. 163)
When the two antenna patterns (horizontal and vertical) are selected, this means that the Horizontal horizontal and vertical planes are combined and SEAMCAT calculates the resulting antenna gain as a pseudo 3-D antenna gain . The calculation is based on the following approximation with a treshold value of 3 dBmultiplication in linear domain of the horizontal and vertical gains:
IF abs( ) < 3 dB
(in linear domain - not in dB) (Eq. 158)
else
(in linear domain - not in dB) (Eq. 159) (Eq. 164)
(Eq. 165)
