Undefined function 'physconst' for input arguments of type 'char'. error
显示 更早的评论
I keep getting the above error when using this statement
dopp_mach = 2*spd_pro*freq_radar/physconst('LightSpeed');
I read through all the help suggestions but to no avail
when I type help for physconst the documentation shows up
any thoughts on what's happening ?

Philip - which version of MATLAB are you using, and what is the help saying with respect to the input for physconst?
Also, in the Command Window type
which physconst -all
to find all functions and files that are named as physconst. What do you observe?

I am having this same issue, and I definitely have a license for the phased array toolbox. I used the "ver" command to see which licenses I have, and it shows "Phased Array System Toolbox Version 3.1" (I have Matlab R2015b). I also tried "which physconst -all" and was returned this:
"C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2015b\toolbox\phased\phased\physconst.m % Has no license available"
What does this mean? Is part of the phased array toolbox missing or something? Thank you for your help.

Hi Nick, I would suggest you contacting MathWorks technical support to resolve this issue. If you are in a network installation environment, you may also want to contact the system administrator.

physconst requires Phased Array System Toolbox. You can do a
ver
in command line to check if you have license for that product.

Philip - What documentation should state that requirement? Since phyconst is contained in that toolbox, it does not need such a statement.
In order to use ANY toolbox, you need a license for the toolbox. That seems pretty logical to me. And if you already have that toolbox, the documentation of the indicated toolbox should not tell you that you need something you already own.
Perhaps you are suggesting that MATLAB should be intelligent enough to suggest that you needed a specific toolbox to perform some operation. While this seems logical at first, suppose I try to perform some operation like
qwerty(x)
(I've just picked a random and very arbitrary name there.) MATLAB first checks to see if qwerty is the name of a variable in your workspace. If not, then it looks on the MATLAB search path for a function of that name. If both of these operations fail, then it would return an error, telling you that qwerty is an undefined function for input arguments of the indicated type.
But just suppose that qwerty was actually a function in some rare (and expensive) toolbox? Perhaps the keyboard operations toolbox, lol? Should MATLAB tell you that you need to buy that toolbox? Suppose that it turns out you just misspelled the name of some variable? Surely you don't want to be convinced you need to buy some unnecessary toolbox because of a typo on your part?
In the case at hand, MATLAB told you it could not find anything called phyconst for inputs of the class as you have called it. That should be the hint you need. What are you trying to do, and do you have the tools you need to do that operation?
