Antenna Azimuth Elevation Pattern File

The following parameter specifies the filename for an antenna pattern file that determines the gain provided by each pattern at each angle.

Note: This file is an option only for 3-dimensional antenna patterns.

#

ANTENNA-ELEVATION-PATTERN-FILE ./default.antenna-elevation

#

The first line in the Elevation Pattern file indicates the number of patterns to follow:

NUMBER-OF-RADIATION-PATTERNS <numPatterns>

The remaining lines in the Elevation Pattern file are of the following format:

<patternIndex> <angle> <gain>

This is where patternIndex is the pattern number, from 0 to (NUMBER-OF-RADIATION-PATTERNS – 1), angle is in degrees where 0 is perpendicular to the antenna, and gain is the antenna gain for this pattern, at this angle, in dBi.
