utilized for adaptive antennaarray simulation and DoA estimation.There were two major factors behind the motivation of this work. First, development of antennaarrays relies heavily on software packages focused on the individual antenna element design.Each software package that is used requires a license and may not match software in otherinstitutions. Executing simulations and viewing their data within a common environment isneeded. Second, executing DoA estimation algorithms is too cumbersome to be implementedwithin these simulation tools.We propose a new program that treats array elements as single points and only utilizes theirrelative locations and orientations to ease calculation by algorithms. This program is written inMATLAB® as it is used

It is possible forgrades on individual items to exceed 4.0, and occasionally grades as high as 4.5 were earned.All grading was done by the instructor.

So,we consider that most of the students did not face any difficulty due to the changes in my livingcondition. However, more than 70% students said they are either neutral, agree or strongly agreewith other five statements under this group of questionnaires.

As an example, Figure 9 indicates the generalattitude of students towards online learning. Students responded more favorably, on a percentagebasis, over the Summer and Fall semesters when compared to the responses for the Spring 2020semester. This may indicate that students are getting used to online learning, also perhaps
