Description

The Azimuth Broadside Converter block converts an angle direction expressed in terms of Broadside Angles into the equivalent azimuth angle or converts from azimuth angle into the equivalent broadside angle. In both cases, you must specify the elevation angle.

Examples

Convert Azimuth and Elevation to Broadside Angle

Convert a direction with an azimuth angle of 45 degrees and an elevation angle of 30 degrees into a broadside angle.

Ports

Input

az — Azimuth angle

scalar | vector of real-values

Azimuth angle of direction, specified as a scalar or vector of real-values. Units are in degrees. When az is a vector, the dimensions of az and el must match.

Dependencies

To enable this port, set Conversion Mode to azimuth -> broadside.

Data Types: double

bsd — Broadside angle

scalar | vector of real-values

Broadside angle of direction, specified as a scalar or vector of real-values. Units are in degrees. When bsd is a vector, the dimensions of bsd and el must match.

Dependencies

To enable this port, set Conversion Mode to broadside -> azimuth.

Data Types: double

el — Elevation angle

scalar | vector of real-values

Elevation angle of direction, specified as a scalar or vector of real-values. Units are in degrees. The dimensions of el must match the dimensions of az and bsd.

Data Types: double

Output

az — Azimuth angle

scalar | vector of real-values

Azimuth angle of direction, returned as a scalar or vector of real-values. Units are in degrees.

Dependencies

To enable this port, set Conversion Mode to broadside -> azimuth.

Data Types: double

bsd — Broadside angle

scalar | vector of real-values

Broadside angle of direction, returned as a scalar or vector of real-values. Units are in degrees.

Dependencies

To enable this port, set Conversion Mode to azimuth -> broadside.

Data Types: double

Parameters

Conversion mode — Angle conversion type

broadside -> azimuth (default) | azimuth -> broadside

Angle conversion type, specified as

broadside -> azimuth	Convert direction expressed in broadside and elevation angles to azimuth and elevation angles.
azimuth -> broadside	Convert direction expressed in azimuth and elevation angles to broadside and elevation angles.
