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 |
Details
The radar wave number k
is calculated using the formula:
k = \frac{2 \pi}{\lambda}
where:
-
\lambda
is the radar wavelength in meters, calculated usingseasonder_getRadarWaveLength
. -
2 \pi
represents the relationship between the wavelength and wave number.
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.
