Syntax

propEmissions = propagate(scenario,emissions)
propEmissions = propagate(scenario,emissions,'HasOcclusion',tf)

Description

propEmissions = propagate(scenario,emissions) returns propagated emissions that are a combination of the input emissions and the reflections of these input emissions from the platforms in the radar scenario, scenario.

propEmissions = propagate(scenario,emissions,'HasOcclusion',tf) specifies whether the radar channel models occlusion or not. By default, the radar channel models occlusion.

Create a radar scenario and add two platforms. Set the position 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, generate emissions, and obtain propagated emissions.

advance(rs);
emtx = emit(rs);
emprop = propagate(rs,emtx,'HasOcclusion',true)
emprop=3×1 cell array
    {1x1 radarEmission}
    {1x1 radarEmission}
    {1x1 radarEmission}

Display the last propagated emission in the radar scenario. The last emission is emitted by emitter 1 and reflected from platform 2.

Input Arguments

collapse all

Radar scenario, specified as a radarScenario object.

Emissions in the radar scenario, specified as a cell array of emission objects, such as radarEmission objects. You can obtain emissions from a radar scenario using the emit function.

Radar channel models occlusion, specified as a numeric or logical 1 (true) or 0 (false).

Output Arguments

collapse all

Propagated emissions in the radar scenario, specified as a cell array of emission objects, such as radarEmission objects. The propagated emissions contain the source emissions and the emissions reflected from the platforms.
