Can anybody tell me what do we mean by rotation of an antenna by some angle.? I have drawn 3D radiation pattern of an antenna and lets suppose I want to rotate it by some angle around any x,y,z axis. What I think of is to first convert the spherical coordinates to cartesian and then multiplying the with some rotation matrix. But I am confused what is the use of doing this as rotating antenna pattern with some rotating matrix will not change the pattern shape (or does it ?) just it will tilt to a new angle around some axis.
Also do I need to convert back to spherical coordinates after rotating the pattern in cartesian coordinate ? Because in order to plot it again I again need to come back to rectangular coordinate system.
