antenna.Circle
Create circle centered at origin on X-Y plane
Description
Use the antenna.Circle object to create a circle centered
at the origin and on the X-Y plane. You can use antenna.Polygon to
create single-layer or multi-layered antennas using pcbStack.
Creation
Description
circle = antenna.Circle creates a circle centered at
the origin and on the X-Y plane.
circle = antenna.Circle(Name,Value) sets properties
using one or more name-value pair. For example, circle =
antenna.Circle('Radius',0.2) creates a circle of radius 0.2 m.
Enclose each property name in quotes.

Examples
Create Circle with Default Properties
Create and view circle using antenna.Circle and view it.
c1 = antenna.Circle
c1 =
Circle with properties:
Name: 'mycircle'
Center: [0 0]
Radius: 1
NumPoints: 30
show(c1)
Create Circle with Specified Properties
Create a circle with a radius of 4 m.
c2 = antenna.Circle('Radius',4)c2 =
Circle with properties:
Name: 'mycircle'
Center: [0 0]
Radius: 4
NumPoints: 30
Add Two Shapes
Create circle with a radius of 1 m. The center of the circle is at [1 0].
circle1 = antenna.Circle('Center',[1 0],'Radius',1);
Create a rectangle with a length of 2 m and a width of 4 m centered at the origin.
rect1 = antenna.Rectangle('Length',2,'Width',2);
Add the two shapes together using the + function.
polygon1 = circle1+rect1
polygon1 =
Polygon with properties:
Name: 'mypolygon'
Vertices: [21x3 double]
show(polygon1)
