python-antenna-pattern

Generate antenna radiation pattern in polar coordinates using python.

• Free software: Apache Software License 2.0
• See also pafx2msi: Antenna pattern convertor from PAFX to MSI format.

Features

Simple cli to

• generate pdf, eps or png files from a planet pattern files
• use individual file pattern file or several files by mask
• simulate pattern having 59/7 width and optionally save MSI
• merge multiple patterns to one and optionally save MSI
• rotate horizontally or vertically and optionally save MSI

Examples:

python pyap -l -3 -t png -p TEST_ -c ./data/AMB4520R8v06_05T.msi
python pyap -l -m -t png -p TEST_ -n "./data/AMB4520R8v06_18*.*"
python pyap -l -p TEST_ ./data/LTE-L_1960MHz_P1.txt
python pyap -l -p TEST_ "./data/*.txt"

Antenna pattern plotted for AMB4520R8v06_05T
