radarpack

module for calculating geometry parameters and magnetic aspect angle of radar targets monitored by any radar

Installation

After cloning this repository:

pip install .

Examples

>>> from radarpack import radarbeam
>>> import numpy as np
>>> 
>>> pfisr = radarbeam.radarspecs(location = 'PFISR')
>>> # Finding a target at:
>>> target_range = 300 # km
>>> target_el = 70 * np.pi/180
>>> target_az = -30 * np.pi/180
>>> target_xyz = pfisr.elaz2xyz(target_range, target_el, target_az)
>>> target_lat, target_lon, target_h = radarbeam.xyz2llh(*target_xyz)
>>> 
>>> print(f"PFISR site altitude = {pfisr.h0} km." )
>>> print(f"PFISR site longitude = {pfisr.lon0*180/np.pi} deg." )
>>> print(f"PFISR site latitude = {pfisr.lat0*180/np.pi} deg." )
>>> print("PFISR ECEF xyz=",pfisr.xyz0) # print PISR ECEF coordinates 
>>> 
>>> print(f"target range = {target_range} km." )
>>> print(f"target elevation = {target_el*180/np.pi} deg." )
>>> print(f"target azimuth = {target_az*180/np.pi} deg." )
>>> 
>>> print("target ECEF xyz=",target_xyz)
>>> print(f"target altitude = {target_h} km." )
>>> print(f"target longitude = {target_lon*180/np.pi} deg." )
>>> print(f"target latitude = {target_lat*180/np.pi} deg." )
