DipoleTester.directional_gain(theta, phi)

Calculate the (complex) directional gain of the antenna.

Power gain of dipole antenna goes as sin(theta)^2, so electric field gain goes as sin(theta).

Parameters

thetafloat

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

phifloat

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

Returns

complex

Complex gain in voltage for the given incoming angles.
