rxsite
Create RF receiver site
Description
Use the rxsite
object to create a radio frequency receiver
site.
A receiver consists of an RF circuit and an antenna, where the antenna intercepts radio waves and converts them to a current that is decoded by the RF circuit (e.g. demodulated) into a signal. Key characteristics of a receiver include its sensitivity and its antenna radiation pattern.
Creation
Description
rx = rxsite
creates a radio frequency receiver
site.
rx = rxsite(coordsys)
creates a receiver site with
coordinate system set to 'geographic'
or
'cartesian'
.
rx = rxsite(Name,Value)
sets properties using one or
more name-value pairs. For example, rx = rxsite('Name','RX
Site')
creates a receiver site with name RX
Site
. Enclose each property name in quotes.
Create a 1-by-N array of receiver sites by specifying a
property value as an array of N columns. Other property
values must be specified with either 1 or N columns. The
Name
, Latitude
, and
Longitude
properties may be specified as either a
row vector or column vector with N elements. The
CoordinateSystem
property must be a string scalar
or a character vector.
