seasonder_getRadarWaveNumber {SeaSondeR}R Documentation

Calculate the Radar Wave Number

Description

This function computes the radar wave number k for a SeaSonde radar system based on its wavelength. The wave number represents the spatial frequency of the radar wave.

Usage

seasonder_getRadarWaveNumber(seasonder_cs_object)

Arguments

seasonder_cs_object

A SeaSondeRCS object containing the necessary data to compute the radar wavelength.

Details

The radar wave number k is calculated using the formula: k = \frac{2 \pi}{\lambda} where:

The wave number is an essential parameter for analyzing radar signals and their interaction with the medium being measured.

Value

A numeric value representing the radar wave number k in radians per meter.
