How can I import 2D antenna radiation pattern into 2D cartesian coordinates environment?

Is there a way to get the radiation pattern's x and y vertices (for instance) from available matlab antennas? Or any other kind of data which might be further used for plot(x,y) function?

I am not certain what you want or what your current data are. (I also do not have significant experience with the Antenna Toolbox.) The pol2cart function offers one option.

Try this —

h = helix; 
[pat,azimuth,elevation] = pattern (h, 2e9, 0, 1:1:360);     % Example from the 'pattern' Documentation

% figure
% plot(elevation, pat)
% grid

figure
polarplot(deg2rad(elevation), abs(pat))

[x,y] = pol2cart(deg2rad(elevation).', abs(pat));

figure
plot(x, y)
grid
axis('equal')

.

Thank you very much!!! This worked perfectly.
