Antenna Pattern Wrapping for Multiple Antennas in MATLAB

This article discusses the antenna pattern wrapping method for multiple antennas in MATLAB. Antenna patterns are graphical representations that characterize the directional radiation properties of antennas, illustrating radiation intensity across different angular directions. The antenna pattern wrapping technique is a data processing methodology used for handling antenna pattern data, enabling comprehensive analysis and manipulation to achieve more accurate characterization results. In MATLAB implementation, this typically involves using functions like `pattern` from the Antenna Toolbox to extract radiation patterns, followed by array manipulation functions such as `unwrap` for phase correction or custom algorithms for pattern normalization and interpolation. Key processing steps may include data sampling, phase unwrapping algorithms to handle angular discontinuities, and pattern integration methods for calculating directive gain parameters. The implementation often utilizes matrix operations for efficient handling of multi-antenna datasets and may incorporate visualization tools like `patternPlot` for result validation.
