Abstract :
This article introduces a simple MATLAB antenna package (ANTEN_GUI) for the visualization of the radiation patterns, beamforming, and beam-steering capabilities of user-designed planar arrays of isotropic radiators. The package can be used as an educational aid, especially in antennas and propagation lectures.
