reflectorC​rossedDipo​leElement(​fq)

In 5G planning example, i have this : "txElement = reflectorCrossedDipoleElement(fq);"....and It Works in live script, but why not when i use it in command window or my code?

Thank you for your answer,

PS: i use matlab r2021a

%%%%%you have to save this function file

function element = reflectorCrossedDipoleElement(fq, showAntenna)

%reflectorCrossedDipoleElement Design reflector-backed crossed dipole antenna element

if nargin < 2

showAntenna = false;

end

lambda = physconst("lightspeed")/fq;

offset = lambda/50;

gndspacing = lambda/4;

gndLength = lambda;

gndWidth = lambda;

% Design crossed dipole elements

d1 = design(dipole,fq);

d1.Tilt = [90,-45];

d1.TiltAxis = ["y","z"];

d2 = copy(d1);

d2.Tilt = 45;

d2.TiltAxis = "x";

% Design reflector

r = design(reflector,fq);

r.Exciter = d1;

r.GroundPlaneLength = gndLength;

r.GroundPlaneWidth = gndWidth;

r.Spacing = gndspacing;

r.Tilt = 90;

r.TiltAxis = "y";

if showAntenna

show(r)

end

% Form the crossed dipole backed by reflector

refarray = conformalArray;

refarray.ElementPosition(1,:) = [gndspacing 0 0];

refarray.ElementPosition(2,:) = [gndspacing+offset 0 0];

refarray.Element = {r, d2};

refarray.Reference = "feed";

refarray.PhaseShift = [0 90];

if showAntenna

show(refarray);

view(65,20)

end

% Create custom antenna element from pattern

[g,az,el] = pattern(refarray,fq);

element = phased.CustomAntennaElement;

element.AzimuthAngles = az;

element.ElevationAngles = el;

element.MagnitudePattern = g;

element.PhasePattern = zeros(size(g));

end

function element = reflectorDipoleElement(fq)

%reflectorDipoleElement Design reflector-backed dipole antenna element

% Design reflector and exciter, which is vertical dipole by default

element = design(reflector,fq);

element.Exciter = design(element.Exciter,fq);

% Tilt antenna element to radiate in xy-plane, with boresight along x-axis

element.Tilt = 90;

element.TiltAxis = "y";

element.Exciter.Tilt = 90;

element.Exciter.TiltAxis = "y";
