dopsteeringvec

Doppler steering vector

Syntax

```DSTV = dopsteeringvec(dopplerfreq,numpulses) DSTV = dopsteeringvec(dopplerfreq,numpulses,PRF) ```

Description

`DSTV = dopsteeringvec(dopplerfreq,numpulses)` returns the N-by-1 temporal (time-domain) Doppler steering vector for a target at a normalized Doppler frequency of `dopplerfreq` in hertz. The pulse repetition frequency is assumed to be 1 Hz.

`DSTV = dopsteeringvec(dopplerfreq,numpulses,PRF)` specifies the pulse repetition frequency, `PRF`.

Input Arguments

 `dopplerfreq` The Doppler frequency in hertz. The normalized Doppler frequency is the Doppler frequency divided by the pulse repetition frequency. This argument supports single and double precision. `numpulses` The number of pulses. The time-domain Doppler steering vector consists of `numpulses` samples taken at intervals of `1/PRF` (slow-time samples). This argument supports single and double precision. `PRF` Pulse repetition frequency in hertz. The time-domain Doppler steering vector consists of `numpulses` samples taken at intervals of `1/PRF` (slow-time samples). The normalized Doppler frequency is the Doppler frequency divided by the pulse repetition frequency. This argument supports single and double precision.

Output Arguments

 `DSTV` Temporal (time-domain) Doppler steering vector. `DSTV` is an N-by-1 column vector where N is the number of pulses, `numpulses`.

Examples

Calculate the steering vector corresponding to a Doppler frequency of 200 Hz. Assume there are 10 pulses and the PRF is 1 kHz.

`dstv = dopsteeringvec(200,10,1000)`
```dstv = 10×1 complex 1.0000 + 0.0000i 0.3090 + 0.9511i -0.8090 + 0.5878i -0.8090 - 0.5878i 0.3090 - 0.9511i 1.0000 - 0.0000i 0.3090 + 0.9511i -0.8090 + 0.5878i -0.8090 - 0.5878i 0.3090 - 0.9511i ```

Temporal Doppler Steering Vector

The temporal (time-domain) steering vector corresponding to a point scatterer is:

`${e}^{j2\pi {f}_{d}{T}_{p}n}$`

where n=0,1,2, ..., N-1 are slow-time samples (one sample from each pulse), fd is the Doppler frequency, and Tp is the pulse repetition interval. The product of the Doppler frequency and the pulse repetition interval is the normalized Doppler frequency.

Single Precision

This functions supports single and double precision for input arguments. If the input arguments are single precision, the output is single precision. If the input arguments are double precision, the output is double precision.
