ULA (Uniform Linear Array)

ULA是用于设计和模拟沿直线放置的一组天线的对象。这是用于MIMO（例如LTE MIMO）的阵列天线类型。

Basic Numerical Test

ULA_Basic_01.m

c = 3e8;        % propagation speed
fc = 26e9;      % carrier frequency
lambda = c/fc;  % wavelength
txarray = phased.ULA('NumElements',4,'ElementSpacing',lambda/2)
txmipos = getElementPosition(txarray)/lambda
txarraystv = phased.SteeringVector('SensorArray',txarray,'PropagationSpeed',c)
txang = [0 ; 0];
wt = txarraystv(fc,txang)'
txbeam_ang = 0;
txsv = steervec(txmipos,txbeam_ang)
txbeam = wt * txsv

以下三个示例显示了具有4个单元的阵列天线的波束图，这取决于不同的转向角。

以下三个示例显示了具有8个单元的阵列天线的波束图，这取决于不同的转向角。

下面的三个例子显示了波束的形状如何随着阵列天线中天线单元的数量增加而变化。
