How to make a video with array pattern function

3 views (last 30 days)
I am trying to make a video on how the directivity of an antenna array as I steer the beam. I have so far the following code:
videoFile = VideoWriter('Directivity_Change in angle');
open(videoFile);
for aziang = -90:90
steervec = phased.SteeringVector('SensorArray',URA);
weights = steervec(fc,[aziang;0]);
pattern(URA,fc,[-180:180],[-90:90],...
'CoordinateSystem','polar',...
'Type','directivity','PropagationSpeed',c,'Weights',weights)
F = getframe(gcf);
writeVideo(videoFile,weights)
end
I am ending up getting that no video frames were written to thie file. I am not sure how to do this so was wondering if I could get some help. Thanks in Advance!

Do you see anything in the display?
Write out F, not weights.
writeVideo(videoFile, F)
See attached demo.

Thank you very much for the reply, it was in fact the 'F' - feel silly for asking here - thanks so much
