seasonder_getRadarWaveLength {SeaSondeR} | R Documentation |
Calculate the Radar Wavelength
Description
This function computes the radar wavelength based on the center frequency of the SeaSonde radar system. The wavelength is derived using the speed of light and the radar's center frequency.
Usage
seasonder_getRadarWaveLength(seasonder_cs_object)
Arguments
seasonder_cs_object |
A |
Details
The radar wavelength \lambda
is calculated using the formula:
\lambda = \frac{c}{f}
where:
-
c
is the speed of light (approximately3 * 10^8
m/s), -
f
is the radar's center frequency in Hz, retrieved from the SeaSondeRCS object.
The center frequency is initially stored in MHz and is converted to Hz by multiplying
it by 10^6
.
Value
A numeric value representing the radar wavelength in meters (m).
