Syntax

correlation(array,frequency,elem1,elem2,z0)
rho = correlation(array,frequency,elem1,elem2,z0)

Description

example

correlation(array,frequency,elem1,elem2,z0) calculates and plots the correlation coefficient between two antenna elements, elem1 and elem2 of an array. The correlation values are calculated for a specified frequency and impedance and for a specified impedance z0.

example

rho = correlation(array,frequency,elem1,elem2,z0) returns the correlation coefficient between two antenna elements, elem1 and elem2 of an array.

Open Live Script

Plot the correlation between 1 and 2 antenna elements in a default linear array over a frequency range of 50MHz to 100MHz.

h = linearArray;
correlation (h,50e6:1e6:100e6,1,2);

Open Live Script

Calculate correlation coefficient of default rectangular array at a frequency range of 50MHz to 100MHz.

h = rectangularArray;
rho = correlation (h, 50e6:1e6:100e6, 1, 2)
rho = 51×1
