Set the search and track properties of a radar (Deprecated Command)
Radar <RdrObjectPath> SearchTrack {Mode} [{SearchTrackProps} <Value>]
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 This command has been replaced by the Radar command.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.
The Radar SearchTrack command allows you to set the values for the radar's search/track mode. A search/track radar detects and tracks point targets. The signal return for a point target is inversely proportional to the 4th power of target range, and directly proportional to the target's radar cross-section.
{Mode} can be On, Off, FixedPRF or Continuous. If the {Mode} is On or Off, no other data is required. The following table describes {SearchTrackProps} and <Value>.
| {Mode} | {SearchTrackProps} <Value> |
|---|---|
| On | N/A |
| Off | |
| FixedPRF | PRF <Frequency> |
| UnambRange <Distance> | |
| UnambVelocity <Velocity> | |
| PulseWidth <Time> | |
| GoalSNR <dBValue> | |
| PerfectInt | |
| MLCFilter {<Velocity> | Off} | |
| SLCFilter {<Velocity> | Off} | |
| FixedPulse <UnitlessValue> | |
| ConstantEff <UnitlessValue> | |
| Exponent <UnitlessValue> | |
| DutyFactor <UnitlessValue> | |
| GainFile "<FilePath>" | |
| MaxPulses <MaxNumPulses> | |
| FalseAlarm <ProbabilityOfFalseAlarm> | |
| CFARRefCells {<NumCells> | Off} | |
| Continuous | SLCFilter {<Velocity> | Off} |
| MLCFilter {<Velocity> | Off} | |
| GoalSNR <dBValue> | |
| FixedTime <Time> | |
| FalseAlarm <ProbabilityOfFalseAlarm> | |
| CFARRefCells {<NumCells> | Off} |
If {SearchTrackProps} is set to Off, Search/Track mode is disabled. If {SearchTrackProps} is any other valid value, Search/Track mode is enabled.
To set the TestRadar to model a continuous wave radar with an integration mode that uses a signal-to-noise ratio of 16.0 decibels:
Radar */Satellite/GEO/Radar/TestRadar SearchTrack Continuous GoalSNR 16.0
If activated, Connect returns an acknowledgement message.
