emit

Collect emissions from all emitters in radar scenario

Since R2021a

Syntax

emissions = emit(scenario)

[emissions,emitterConfigs] = emit(scenario)

[emissions,emitterConfigs,emitterConfigPIDs] = emit(scenario)

Description

emissions = emit(scenario) reports signals emitted from all emitters mounted on platforms in the radar scenario, scenario.

[emissions,emitterConfigs] = emit(scenario) also returns the configurations of all emitters at the emission time.

[emissions,emitterConfigs,emitterConfigPIDs] = emit(scenario) also returns the IDs of platforms on which the emitters are mounted.

Examples

Collect Emissions in Radar Scenario

Create a radar scenario and add two platforms. Set the position of each platform and add an emitter to each platform.

rs = radarScenario('UpdateRate',1);
plat1 = platform(rs);
plat1.Trajectory.Position = [0,0,0];
emitter1 = radarEmitter(1,'UpdateRate',1);
plat1.Emitters = emitter1;
plat2 = platform(rs);
plat2.Trajectory.Position = [100,0,0];
emitter2 = radarEmitter(2,'UpdateRate',1);
plat2.Emitters = emitter2;

Advance the radar scenario by one time step. Collect the emissions of all emitters in the scenario.

advance(rs);
[emissions,configs,sensorConfigPIDs] = emit(rs);

Confirm that there are two emissions, one from each emitter.

disp("There are " + numel(emissions) + " emissions.");

There are 2 emissions.

Display the properties of both emitters after the first time step.

disp("The first emission is:"); ...
disp(emissions{1});

The first emission is:

  radarEmission with properties:

                     RCS: 0

Display the configuration of both emitters after the first time step.

disp("The emitter configuration associated with the first emission is:"); ...
disp(configs(1));

The emitter configuration associated with the first emission is:

             EmitterIndex: 1
              IsValidTime: 1
               IsScanDone: 0

          RangeRateLimits: [0 Inf]
    MeasurementParameters: [1×1 struct]

disp("The emitter configuration associated with the second emission is:"); ...
disp(configs(2));

The emitter configuration associated with the second emission is:

             EmitterIndex: 2
              IsValidTime: 1
               IsScanDone: 0
              FieldOfView: [1 5]
              RangeLimits: [0 Inf]
          RangeRateLimits: [0 Inf]
    MeasurementParameters: [1×1 struct]

Display the platform IDs for the emitter configurations.

disp("The emitter configurations are connected with platform IDs: "); ...
disp(sensorConfigPIDs');

The emitter configurations are connected with platform IDs:

Input Arguments

scenario — Radar scenario

radarScenario object

Radar scenario, specified as a radarScenario object.

Output Arguments

emissions — Emissions of all emitters

cell array of emission objects

Emissions of all emitters in the radar scenario, returned as a cell array of emission objects such as radarEmission objects.

emitterConfigs — Emitter configurations

array of sensor configuration structures

Emitter configurations, returned as an array of emitter configuration structures. Each structure contains these fields.

Field	Description
EmitterIndex	Unique emitter index, returned as a positive integer.
IsValidTime	Valid emission time, returned as 0 or 1. IsValidTime is 0 when emitter updates are requested at times that are between update intervals specified by the UpdateInterval property.
IsScanDone	Whether the emitter has completed a scan, returned as true or false.
FieldOfView	Field of view of the emitter, returned as a two-element vector [azimuth; elevation] in degrees.
MeasurementParameters	Emitter measurement parameters, returned as an array of structures containing the coordinate frame transforms needed to transform positions and velocities in the top-level frame to the current emitter frame.

emitterConfigPIDs — Platform IDs for emitter configurations

array of positive integers

Platform IDs for emitter configurations in the emitterConfigs output argument, returned as an array of positive integers.
