Can the beams of an antenna at a fixed position be modified during time variant simulation in Winprop?

Coco

Hi, I'm trying to do a time variant simulation in WinProp but I only found an example of moving the antenna through a trajactory. I think it's more practical that the antanna site is at a fixed position while the pattern is changing, or rotating. I wonder if there is a method to do so in Proman? Or actually Aman? 

I also realised that the results are showing at stationary time stamps by the defined interval as shown in the figure. I wonder if they are just two stationary simulation results at different times, or averaging process is conducted during the whole interval? (for example 5s in this case)

Best regards,

Hi Coco,

I'll first answer your second question: The Time-Variant simulations (when activated from the Propagation tab) are performed at discrete time steps. These are the time steps you defined inthe time-variant simulation settings:

There is no interpolation to obtain values between these given steps.

Coming back to your first question, you could assign a trajectory to your transmitter where you define the points to have the same coordinates and null velocity (stationary antenna), but change the yaw/pitch/roll angles to rotate your antenna. This is set in the Location of Antenna settings in Cell window:

 

I hope this helps!

Dear Zeina,

Thank you very much for you answer! However, with the simulation only considering the exact time stamp, doesn't it just the angle of the antenna at that time stamp? The results would then just be a combination of a series of independent simulations? 

Best regards,
