Used in compound modules¶

Name	Type	Description
Probe	compound module	A minimal wireless network node that consists only of an antenna and mobility model. Designed for monitoring wireless signals without actively participating in network communication.
Radio	compound module	The radio model describes the physical device that is capable of transmitting and receiving signals on the medium. It contains an antenna model, a transmitter model, a receiver model, and an energy consumer model.
NoiseSource	compound module	A network node that generates periodic noise transmissions that can interfere with wireless communications. Alternates between sleep and transmission states based on configurable intervals. Uses a NoiseTransmitter to create noise signals with specified duration, frequency, bandwidth, and power parameters. Useful for testing protocol robustness against interference in wireless networks.

Extends¶

Name	Type	Description
AntennaBase	compound module	Serves as the base module for antenna models.

Parameters¶

Name	Type	Default value	Description
displayStringTextFormat	string	“”	Determines the text that is written on top of the submodule, supports displaying pars, watches, and module-specific information
mobilityModule	string		The path to the mobility module relative to this module, only used if no mobility submodule is present
numAntennas	int	1	The number of antennas in the antenna array
