% Create a concentric array
close all
shift = 0;
l2=0
l4=1
% The multiplication factor for lambda units to meter conversion
radius = [0.5 1] * 0.0105263157894737;
n = [4 8];
if length(n) == 1
n = n*ones(1, length(radius));
end
Nelements = sum(n);
stop = cumsum(n);
start = stop - n + 1;
actual_pos = zeros(3, Nelements);
for idx = 1:length(n)
angles = (0:n(idx)-1)*360/n(idx);
angles = angles + shift;
shift = sum(angles(1:2))/2;
pos = [zeros(1, length(angles));cosd(angles);sind(angles)];
actual_pos(:, start(idx):stop(idx)) = pos*radius(idx);
end
elNormal = [ones(1,Nelements);zeros(1,Nelements)];
Array = phased.ConformalArray('ElementPosition', actual_pos, ...
'ElementNormal', elNormal,'Taper',[exp(i*l2*0) exp(i*l2*1.5707) exp(i*l2*3.1415) exp(i*l2*4.7123) exp(i*l4*0) exp(i*l4*0.7853) exp(i*l4*1.5707) exp(i*l4*2.356) exp(i*l4*3.1415) exp(i*l4*3.9269) exp(i*l4*4.7123) exp(i*l4*5.4977)]);
% Create an isotropic antenna element
Elem = phased.IsotropicAntennaElement;
Elem.FrequencyRange = [0 28500000000];
Array.Element = Elem;
% Assign Frequencies and Propagation Speed
Frequency = 28500000000;
PropagationSpeed = 300000000;
% Create Figure
% Plot Array Geometry
figure;
viewArray(Array,'ShowNormal',false,...
'ShowTaper',false,'ShowIndex','None');
% Calculate Steering Weights
Freq3D = 28500000000;
% Find the weights
w = ones(getNumElements(Array), length(Frequency));
% Plot 3d graph
format = 'polar';
figure;
pattern(Array, Freq3D , 'PropagationSpeed', PropagationSpeed,...
'Type','directivity', 'CoordinateSystem', format,'weights', w(:,1));
u=pattern(Array, Freq3D , 'PropagationSpeed', PropagationSpeed,...
'Type','directivity', 'CoordinateSystem', format,'weights', w(:,1));
% Find the weights
w = ones(getNumElements(Array), length(Frequency));
% Plot 2d elevation graph
format = 'polar';
cutAngle = 0;
figure;
pattern(Array, Frequency, cutAngle, -90:90, 'PropagationSpeed', PropagationSpeed,...
'Type', 'directivity', 'CoordinateSystem', format ,'weights', w);
format = 'rectangular';
cutAngle = 0;
figure;
pattern(Array, Frequency, cutAngle, -90:90, 'PropagationSpeed', PropagationSpeed,...
'Type', 'directivity', 'CoordinateSystem', format ,'weights', w);
We have inbuilt function arrayFactor(object,freq).
I don't know what is the object in my case?
According to me it's Array but it's not. Then what is it?
Thank you

when i perform arrayFactor(rectangularArray,30e9) it works.
when i write above mentioned code it shows unrecognized function or variable 'arrayFactor'.
