Open Live Script

Show that an array of phased.ShortDipoleAntennaElement antenna elements supports polarization.

antenna = phased.ShortDipoleAntennaElement(...
    'FrequencyRange',[1e9 10e9]);
array = phased.ULA('NumElements',3,'Element',antenna);
isPolarizationCapable(array)
ans = logical
   1

The returned value of 1 shows that this array supports polarization.

Input Arguments
