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).
