Description

Message describing RADAR raw sensed data from the sensor.


Properties

DeclaredDescription
IsDetectedA boolean value indicating if a target has been detected by the RADAR sensor,based on the signal to noise ratio and the sensor’s detection threshold.
SignalDistanceThe estimated distance to the target detected by the RADAR sensor.
SignalToNoiseThe signal to noise of the RADAR sensor, calculated as the total signaldivided by the total noise.
TargetAzimuthThe bearing of the target measured in the plane spanned by the boresight andthe right axis of the sensor. Together with the elevation this locates thetarget relative to the boresight, and both are zero when the target lies alongit.
TargetCrossSectionThe radar cross-section that the target presented to the sensor, after anyreduction applied when the target over-fills the beam and so is only partlyilluminated by it.
TargetDopplerShiftThe Doppler shift of the signal returned by the target, which is positive whenthe target is closing on the sensor. This is the range rate expressed as thefrequency shift it imposes on the carrier, and carries the opposite sign byconvention.
TargetElevationThe bearing of the target measured out of the plane spanned by the boresightand the right axis of the sensor.
TargetRangeThe range from the sensor to the surface of the target it is reporting on. Thisis the true range, where SignalDistance is the same range with the measurementnoise of the sensor applied.
TargetRangeRateThe rate the range to the target is changing at, which is positive when thetarget is moving away from the sensor. This is recovered by differencing therange between captures, so it stays zero until the target has been sensedtwice.
TotalNoiseThe total noise of the RADAR sensor.
TotalSignalThe total signal of the RADAR sensor, which is the sum of all target signals.
