Implement transmit and receive polarization for a radar (Deprecated Command)
Radar <RdrObjectPath> {PolarizationOption} {Parameters}
Note: This command was deprecated in STK 10.1, it should no longer be used. This command has been replaced by the Radar command.
The Radar Connect commands were enhanced in STK 10.1 to make use of attributes and to simplify the format required to use these commands. For more information on using the new format see Transitioning to the New Radar Format.
Using the Radar command with polarization options you can set a polarization type for a Radar's transmit side signal and one for its receiver side signal. You can also enable orthogonal signal polarizations.
| {PolarizationOption} | Description |
|---|---|
| TransmitPol {PolType} {PolTypeParameters} | Set the parameters for transmit side polarization. See table below for description of {PolType} {PolTypeParameters}. |
| ReceivePol {PolType} {PolTypeParameters} | Set the parameters for receive side polarization. See table below for description of {PolType} {PolTypeParameters}. |
| EnableTransmitOrthoPol {Yes | No} | Enable transmit orthogonal polarization. |
| EnableReceiveOrthoPol {Yes | No} | Enable receive orthogonal polarization. |
The following table lists the polarization types and the parameters for each type.
| {PolType} | {PolTypeParameters} |
|---|---|
| None | N/A |
| RightHand | [PolLeak <CrossPolLeakage>] |
| LeftHand | [PolLeak <CrossPolLeakage>] |
| Elliptical | {X | Y | Z} <TiltAngle> <AxialRatio> [PolLeak <CrossPolLeakage>] |
| Linear | {X | Y | Z} <TiltAngle> [PolLeak <CrossPolLeakage>] |
| Vertical | {X | Y | Z} [PolLeak <CrossPolLeakage>] |
| Horizontal | {X | Y | Z} [PolLeak <CrossPolLeakage>] |
The optional PolLeak <CrossPolLeakage> is valid for ReceivePol only. <CrossPolLeakage> is entered in dB and can be between -3000 dB and -0.001 dB.
{X | Y | Z} specifies the reference axis.
<TiltAngle> is entered in degrees and can be between -180 to 180 degrees.
<AxialRatio> can be between -1.0 to -1e15 and 1.0 to 1e15.
To set the transmit side polarization for a radar on a facility:
Radar */Facility/Facility1/Radar/Radar1 TransmitPol Elliptical X 45 1e+15
To set the receive side polarization for a radar on a facility:
Radar */Facility/Facility1/Radar/Radar1 ReceivePol Linear Y 60 PolLeak -5.0
To enable receive orthogonal polarization for a radar on a facility:
Radar */Facility/Facility1/Radar/Radar1 EnableReceiveOrthoPol Yes
If activated, Connect returns an acknowledgement message.
