Member Function Documentation

virtual mimo::CVector mimo::AntennaArray::get_steeringVector (  size_t  N, double  alpha )  const [virtual]

Returns the steering vector for the incoming angle alpha and a geometry with N elements as implemented in a derived class.

virtual double mimo::AntennaArray::get_phase (  unsigned  N, unsigned  k, double  alpha )  const [pure virtual]

Returns the phase shift for antenna element k out of N total elements and at an incoming angle alpha. To be implemented in a derived class. Implemented in mimo::UniformLinearLambdaHalf, mimo::UniformCircularLambdaHalf, and mimo::NonUniform.

static AntennaArray* mimo::AntennaArray::init (  const simth::PropertyList &  pl, const char *  propertyname = "array_geometry" )  [static]

Returns a newly created object of this base class. The actual derived class is chosen from the property "array_geometry" in the given propertylist (or a different name, if specified as second argument). Potentially a specific array geometry might need more properties.

static mimo::CVector mimo::AntennaArray::unitVector (  size_t  n, size_t  N )  [static]

Unit vector of size N with a one at index n and zeros elsewhere.
