  1. evaluate(): returns the calculated antenna gain
  2. consistencyCheck(): see section 8.2.2
  3. description(): the unique name of the PMP and an optional description (but highly recommended in order to show the user its characteristics and its scope of application)
  4. Input: see section 8.2.1

The referenced parameters are detailed as follow (only different to the EPP, see section ‎14.7.2, and the PMP, see section 8.6.3):

...


  • 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.

...


Simple examples are shown in section ‎14.5.1 (static) and section ‎14.5.2 (dynamic).
