Column Listing

ColumnColumn NameElementTypeDimensionDescription
1EnabledEnabledTextUnitlessReports out if the SAR (synthetic aperture radar) mode has been turned on.
2Integration TimeIntegration TimeReal NumberTimeReports out the constraint values applied to integration time - the fixed integration time or time to achieve the desired azimuth resolution, depending on the setting of the analysis mode when defining the radar.
3Azimuth ResolutionAzimuth ResolutionReal NumberDistanceReports out the constraint values applied to azimuth resolution - the fixed azimuth resolution or the resolution achievable within the desired integration time, depending on the setting of the analysis mode when defining the radar.
4MNRMNRReal NumberRatioReports out the multiplicative noise ratio - the contribution of ambiguous range and side-lobe returns to the image formation process. The default value is -20 dB.
5PRFPRFReal NumberPRFReports out the pulse repetition frequency - range: 0.1 to 1000 kHz.
6Unambig RangeUnambig RangeReal NumberDistanceReports out the desired target range for which unambiguous data is required. The Range is ambiguous where the true target range is greater than the ambiguous range as computed by radar. The Unambiguous Range constraint denies access when the range is ambiguous (i.e. it enforces a low PRF mode).
7Az Broad FactorAz Broad FactorReal NumberUnitlessReports out this analysis weighting factor to compensate for signal processing losses in the azimuth dimension when SAR mode is enabled. The default value is 1.2 and can be changed by the user.
8Rng Broad FactorRng Broad FactorReal NumberUnitlessReports out this analysis weighting factor to compensate for signal processing losses in the range dimension when SAR mode has been enabled. The default value is 1.2 but can be changed by the user.
9IF BandwidthIF BandwidthReal NumberBandwidthReports out the IF Bandwidth which is the analog-to-digital sampling rate of the SAR. This bandwidth assumes a quadrature sampling without oversampling; in the case of real-valued sampling the IF Bandwidth must be twice the sampling rate. This rate determines the amount of data that can be collected in a given amount of time.
10Rng ResolutionRng ResolutionReal NumberDistanceReports out the range resolution, which is inversely related to the pulse-compressed RF bandwidth of the transmitted signal. This is a user-defined parameter that you have to set.
11BandwidthBandwidthReal NumberBandwidthThe Receiver Bandwidth.
12Pulse Compression RatioPulse Compression RatioReal NumberUnitlessReports out the ratio of compressed to uncompressed RF bandwidth if SAR mode has been enabled and this factor has been selected.
13Pulse WidthPulse WidthReal NumberSmallTimeReports out the width of the transmitted pulse (the inverse of uncompressed RF bandwidth) if SAR mode has been enabled and this factor has been selected.
14Scene DepthScene DepthReal NumberDistanceReports out the range swath along the radar line of sight to the target if SAR mode has been enabled and this factor has been selected.
15Rng Chirp RateRng Chirp RateReal NumberSARRngChirpReports out the frequency modulation rate of the pulse compression (1/sec2) if SAR mode has been enabled and this factor has been selected.
