Syntax

bsang = az2broadside(az)
bsang = az2broadside(az,el)

Description

bsang = az2broadside(az) returns the broadside angle, bsang, corresponding to the azimuth angle, az, and zero elevation angle. All angles are define with respect to the local coordinate system.

example

bsang = az2broadside(az,el) also specifies the elevation angle, el.

Open Live Script

Return the broadside angle corresponding to 45° azimuth and 0° elevation.

bsang = az2broadside(45)
bsang = 
45.0000
Open Live Script

Return the broadside angle corresponding to 45° azimuth and 45° elevation.

bsang = az2broadside(45,45)
bsang = 
30.0000
Open Live Script

Return broadside angles for 10 azimuth-elevation pairs.

az = (75:5:120)';
el = (45:5:90)';
bsang = az2broadside(az,el);

Input Arguments

collapse all

Azimuth angle, specified as a scalar or vector of real values. Azimuth angles lie in the range from –180° to 180°. Units are in degrees.

Example: [35;20;-10]

Elevation angle, specified as a scalar or vector. The elevation angle lie in the range from –90° to 90°. The length of el must equal the length of az. Units are in degrees.

Example: [5;2;-1]

Output Arguments

collapse all

Broadside angle, returned as a scalar or vector. The length of bsang equals the length of az. Units are in degrees.
