numCorrugationsToPitch

Calculate pitch for specified corrugations

Syntax

Pitch = numCorrugationsToPitch(antenna,corrugations)

Description

Pitch = numCorrugationsToPitch(antenna,corrugations) returns the pitch value for the specified number of corrugations. You can calculate the pitch for rectangular or conical corrugated horn antennas.

Examples

Calculate Pitch for Corrugated Horn Antenna

Calculate the pitch for a default corrugated horn antenna with 6 corrugations.

Pitch = numCorrugationsToPitch(hornCorrugated,6)

Pitch = 
0.0045

Calculate Pitch for Conical Corrugated Horn Antenna

Calculate the pitch for a default conical corrugated horn antenna with 8 corrugations.

Pitch = numCorrugationsToPitch(hornConicalCorrugated,8)

Pitch = 
0.0107

Input Arguments

antenna — Corrugated-horn antenna

hornCorrugated object | hornConicalCorrugated object

corrugations — Number of corrugations

positive scalar

Number of corrugations used in calculating the pitch, specified as a positive scalar.

Example: 6

Data Types: double

Output Arguments

Pitch — Distance between two successive corrugations

positive scalar

Distance between two successive corrugations, specified as a positive scalar in meters.
