    Syntax

    acr = sarchirprate(r,lambda,v)
    acr = sarchirprate(r,lambda,v,dcang)

    Description

    acr = sarchirprate(r,lambda,v) computes the nominal azimuth chirp rate at which the azimuth signal changes frequency as the sensor illuminates a scatterer.

    example

    acr = sarchirprate(r,lambda,v,dcang) specifies the Doppler cone angle that identifies the direction towards the scene relative to the direction of motion of the array.

    Open Live Script

    Compute the azimuth chirp rate of received signal for a side-looking airborne synthetic aperture radar (SAR) operating in broadside at a wavelength of 0.03 m with a sensor velocity of 100 m/s for a target at 10 km. The sensor illuminates the scatterer at a Doppler cone angle of 90∘.

    lambda = 0.03;
R = 10e3;
v = 100;

    Compute the azimuth chirp rate.

    azchirp = sarchirprate(R,lambda,v)

    Input Arguments

    collapse all

    Range from target to antenna in meters, specified as a positive real scalar or a vector.

    Data Types: double

    Radar wavelength in meters, specified as a positive real scalar or a vector.

    Data Types: double

    Sensor velocity in meters per second, specified as a positive real scalar.

    Data Types: double

    Doppler cone angle in degrees, specified as a scalar in the range [0, 180]. This argument identifies the direction toward the scene relative to the direction of motion of the array.

    Data Types: double

    Output Arguments

    collapse all

    Nominal azimuth chirp rate in hertz per second, returned as a matrix. The rows of acr correspond to the range values in r. The columns of acr correspond to the wavelength values in lambda.
