Detailed Description

Antenna model based on a parabolic approximation of the main lobe radiation pattern.

This class implements the parabolic model as described in some 3GPP document, e.g., R4-092042

A similar model appears in:

George Calcev and Matt Dillon, "Antenna Tilt Control in CDMA Networks" in Proc. of the 2nd Annual International Wireless Internet Conference (WICON), 2006

though the latter addresses also the elevation plane, which the present model doesn't.

Member Function Documentation

◆ GetBeamwidth()

double ns3::ParabolicAntennaModel::GetBeamwidth ( ) const

Get the Beam width.

Returns: beam width in degrees

Definition at line 73 of file parabolic-antenna-model.cc.

References m_beamwidthRadians, and ns3::RadiansToDegrees().

Referenced by GetTypeId().

◆ GetGainDb()

double ns3::ParabolicAntennaModel::GetGainDb ( Angles a )

overridevirtual

this method is expected to be re-implemented by each antenna model

Parameters

a	the spherical angles at which the radiation pattern should be evaluated

Returns: the power gain in dBi of the antenna radiation pattern at the specified angles; dBi means dB with respect to the gain of an isotropic radiator. Since a power gain is used, the efficiency of the antenna is expected to be included in the gain value.

Implements ns3::AntennaModel.
