TX

class sorts.radar.tx_rx.TX(lat, lon, alt, min_elevation, beam, power, bandwidth, duty_cycle, pulse_length=0.001, ipp=0.01, n_ipp=20)[source]

Bases: sorts.radar.tx_rx.Station

A transmitting radar station

Parameters

  • bandwidth (float) – Transmissions bandwidth.

  • duty_cycle (float) – Maximum duty cycle, i.e. fraction of time transmission can occur at maximum power.

  • power (float) – Transmissions power in watts.

  • pulse_length (float) – Length of transmission pulse.

  • ipp (float) – Time between consecutive pulses.

  • n_ipp (int) – Number of pulses to coherently integrate.

Variables

  • bandwidth (float) – Transmissions bandwidth.

  • duty_cycle (float) – Maximum duty cycle, i.e. fraction of time transmission can occur at maximum power.

  • power (float) – Transmissions power in watts.

  • pulse_length (float) – Length of transmission pulse.

  • ipp (float) – Time between consecutive pulses.

  • n_ipp (int) – Number of pulses to coherently integrate.

  • coh_int_bandwidth (float) – Effective bandwidth of receiver noise after coherent integration.
