Array element tapers

Since R2021a

Syntax

wts = getTaper(array)

Description

wts = getTaper(array) returns the tapers wts applied to each element of the phased array array. Tapers are often referred to as weights.

Examples

Construct ULA with Taylor Window

Construct a 5-element ULA with a Taylor window taper. Then, obtain the element taper values.

taper = taylorwin(5)';
array = phased.ULA(5,'Taper',taper);
w = getTaper(array)
