pyrex.custom.arianna.antenna.ARIANNAAntenna.directional_response

ARIANNAAntenna.directional_response(theta, phi, polarization)

Generate the (complex) frequency-dependent directional response.

For given angles and polarization direction, use the model of the directional and polarization gains of the antenna to generate a function for the interpolated response of the antenna with respect to frequency.

Parameters

thetafloat

Polar angle (radians) from which a signal is arriving.

phifloat

Azimuthal angle (radians) from which a signal is arriving.

polarizationarray_like

Normalized polarization vector in the antenna coordinate system.

Returns

function

A function which returns complex-valued voltage gains for given frequencies, using the values of incoming angle and polarization.
