While this is all true . I would like to simulate my communication system to see the effect ofvarious parameters It would be good if there are ready to use channel models Our project demands design of antennas, visualise their parameters andtest their performance. While I do all this I would also like to connect & test this on a hardware5

Design antennas/ arrays, visualise their parameters and testtheir performance27

Antenna and Phase Array System toolbox Design, analyse, and visualise of antenna elements and arrays. Compute port properties such as impedance, surface properties such ascurrent and charge distribution, and field properties such as the near-fieldand far-field radiation pattern. Integrate antennas and arrays into wireless systems, and use impedanceanalysis to design matching networks.28
