Syntax

propEmissions = propagate(sc,emissions)
propEmissions = propagate(sc,emissions,'HasOcclusion',tfOcclusion)

Description

propEmissions = propagate(sc,emissions) returns propagated emissions that are a combination of the input emissions and the reflections of these input emissions from the platforms in the tracking scenario sc.

example

propEmissions = propagate(sc,emissions,'HasOcclusion',tfOcclusion) specifies whether the radar channel models occlusion or not. By default, tfOcclusion is set to true.

Create a tracking scenario and add two platforms. Set the position of each platform and add an emitter.

ts = trackingScenario('UpdateRate',1);
plat1 = platform(ts);
plat1.Trajectory.Position = [0,0,0];
emitter1 = radarEmitter(1,'UpdateRate',1);
plat1.Emitters = emitter1;
plat2 = platform(ts);
plat2.Trajectory.Position = [100,0,0];
emitter2 = radarEmitter(2,'UpdateRate',1);
plat2.Emitters = emitter2;

Advance the tracking scenario, generate emissions, and obtain propagated emissions.

advance(ts);
emtx = emit(ts); % Get emissions
emprop = propagate(ts, emtx, 'HasOcclusion', true)
emprop=3×1 cell array
    {1x1 radarEmission}
    {1x1 radarEmission}
    {1x1 radarEmission}

The last emission was emitted by emitter 1 and reflected from platform 2.

Input Arguments

collapse all

Tracking scenario, specified as a trackingScenario object.

Emissions in the tracking scenario, specified as a cell array of emission objects, such as radarEmission and sonarEmission objects. You can obtain emissions from a tracking scenario using the emit function.

Indicate HasOcculusion status, specified as true or false.

Output Arguments

collapse all

Propagated emissions in the tracking scenario, specified as a cell array of emission objects, such as radarEmission and sonarEmission objects. The propagated emissions contain the source emissions and the emissions reflected from the platforms.
