A MATLAB Tool for Visualizing the 3D Polar Power Patterns and Excitations of Conformal Arrays

This paper describes the implementation of a MATLAB^® tool to plot the three-dimensional polar radiation diagram generated by a conformal antenna array. A related tool has also been developed for visualizing the geometrical arrangement (positions and orientations) of the elements, as well as the relative values of the amplitudes and phases of their excitations. Supporting M-files are available.
