pyrex.custom.ara.detector.PhasedArrayString.set_positions

PhasedArrayString.set_positions(x, y, antennas_per_string=10, antenna_separation=1, lowest_antenna=-180, antenna_type=<class 'pyrex.custom.ara.antenna.VpolAntenna'>)

Generates antenna positions along the string.

Parameters

xfloat

Cartesian x-position (m) of the string.

yfloat

Cartesian y-position (m) of the string.

antennas_per_stringfloat, optional

Total number of antennas to be placed on the string.

antenna_separationfloat or list of float, optional

The vertical separation (m) of antennas on the string. If float, all antennas are separated by the same constant value. If list, the separations in the list are the separations of neighboring antennas starting from the lowest up to the highest.

lowest_antennafloat, optional

The Cartesian z-position (m) of the lowest antenna on the string.

antenna_typeoptional

The class to be used to create the antenna objects.
