polloss
Polarization loss
Syntax
rho = polloss(fv_tr,fv_rcv)
rho = polloss(fv_tr,fv_rcv,pos_rcv)
rho = polloss(fv_tr,fv_rcv,pos_rcv,axes_rcv)
rho = polloss(fv_tr,fv_rcv,pos_rcv,axes_rcv,pos_tr)
rho = polloss(fv_tr,fv_rcv,pos_rcv,axes_rcv,pos_tr,axes_tr)
Description
returns the loss, in decibels, because of mismatch between the polarization of a transmitted field,rho
= polloss(fv_tr
,fv_rcv
)fv_tr
, and the polarization of the receiving antenna,fv_rcv
. The field vector lies in a plane orthogonal to the direction of propagation from the transmitter to the receiver. The transmitted field is represented as a 2-by-1 column vector[Eh;Ev]
. In this vector,Eh
andEv
are the field’s horizontal and vertical linear polarization components with respect to the transmitter’s local coordinate system. The receiving antenna’s polarization is specified by a 2-by-1 column vector,fv_rcv
. You can also specify this polarization in the form of[Eh;Ev]
with respect to the receiving antenna’s local coordinate system. In this syntax, both local coordinate axes align with the global coordinate system.
specifies, in addition, the orthonormal axes,rho
= polloss(fv_tr
,fv_rcv
,pos_rcv
,axes_rcv
)axes_rcv
. These axes define the receiver's local coordinate system as a 3-by-3 matrix. The first column gives thex-axis of the local system with respect to the global coordinate system. The second and third columns give theyandzaxes, respectively. This syntax can use any of the input arguments in the previous syntaxes.
