Motion Modeling and Coordinate Systems

Perform array and target trajectory modeling, coordinate transformations, and compute Doppler shift

The Phased Array System Toolbox™ lets you model the motion of radars, sonars, targets, jammers, or interference sources using the phased.Platform System object™. This System object provides constant velocity and constant acceleration motion models. These motion models can generate almost any type of trajectory. You can display a 3-D visualization of a radar scenario using the phased.ScenarioViewer System object. The toolbox contains several utility functions that let you transform between coordinates systems, transform between angular coordinates, and convert between velocity and Doppler shift.
