Donut

Antennatool to visualy learn about phased array antennas antenna plots.

Purpose

This is a graphical tool to visualize linear antenna array diagramms. It is meant to be a toy to play around with different parameters and explore the topic of antenna arrays.

What it can do

visualize linear antenna arrays

• number of antennas 1 - 100
• variable distance between antennas
• 3 different antenna types (isotropic, dipole)
• reflector broadside and endfire
• linear phased array
• sidelobe suppression using various window functions (Chebyshev, binomial, cosine)

visualize circular antenna arrays

• number of antennas 1 - 100
• variable radius
