System object: phased.ScatteringMIMOChannel
Namespace: phased

Propagate signals in scattering MIMO channel

Description

Note

Instead of using the step method to perform the operation defined by the System object™, you can call the object with arguments, as if it were a function. For example, Y = step(obj,X) and Y = obj(X) perform equivalent operations.

example

Y = step(channel,X) uses the scattering MIMO channel, channel, to propagate a signal, X, from a transmitting array towards multiple scatterers, and returns the scattered signals, Y, to a receiving array.

To enable this syntax, set the TransmitArrayMotionSource, ReceiveArrayMotionSource, and ScattererSpecificationSource properties to 'Property'.

example

[YH,YV] = step(channel,[XH,XV])propagates the polarized signals, XH and XV, through the H-port and V-port of the transmit array. The object returns the received signals, YH and YV to the H-port and V-port of the receive array.

To enable this syntax, set the Polarization property to 'Dual'.

example

[___] = step(___,txpos,txvel,txaxes) also specifies the transmitting array position, velocity, and axes orientation.

To enable this syntax, set the ReceiveArrayMotionSource and ScattererSpecificationSource properties to 'Property' and set TransmitArrayMotionSource to 'Input port'.

example

[___] = step(___,rxpos,rxvel,rxaxes) specifies the receiving array position, velocity, and axes orientation.

To enable this syntax, set the TransmitArrayMotionSource and ScattererSpecificationSource properties to 'Property' and set ReceiveArrayMotionSource to 'Input port'.

example

[___] = step(___,scatpos,scatvel,scatcoef) specifies the scatterer positions and velocities, and the scattering coefficients.

To enable this syntax, set the TransmitArrayMotionSource and ReceiveArrayMotionSource properties to 'Property', set ScattererSpecificationSource to 'Input port', and set the Polarization property to 'None'.

example

[___] = step(___,scatpos,scatvel,scatmat,scataxes) specifies the scatterer positions, scatpos, and velocities, scatvel, the scattering matrix, scatmat, and the scatterer orientation axes, scataxes.

To enable this syntax, set the TransmitArrayMotionSource and ReceiveArrayMotionSource properties to 'Property', set ScattererSpecificationSource to 'Input port', and set the Polarization property to 'Combined' or 'Dual'.

example

[___,CR,TAU] = step(channel,___) also returns the channel response matrix, CR, and the channel path delays, TAU, using any of the previous input argument combinations.

To enable this syntax, set the ChannelResponseOutputPort property to true and set the Polarization property to 'None' or 'Combined'.

[___,CR_HH,CR_HV,CR_VH,CR_V,TAU] = step(channel,___) also returns the channel response matrices, CR_HH, CR_HV, CR_VH, and CR_V, using any of the previous input argument combinations.

To enable this syntax, set the ChannelResponseOutputPort property to true and set the Polarization property to 'Dual'.

[___] = step(___,steert) uses steert as the subarray steering angle for the transmit array. This syntax is only applicable when you use subarrays in the TransmitArray property and set the SubarraySteering property in the ReceiveArray to either 'Phase' or 'Time'.

[___] = step(___,wst) specifies the element weights, wst for each element within the transmit array subarrays. This syntax is applicable when you use a subarray as the transmit array and set the SubarraySteering property to 'Custom' or an phased.NRRectangularPanelArray System object that uses each panel as a subarray.

[___] = step(___,steerr) uses steerr as the subarray steering angle for the receive array. This syntax is only applicable when you use subarrays in the ReceiveArray property, set the SubarraySteering property in the ReceiveArray to either 'Phase' or 'Time'.

[___] = step(___,wsr) specifies the element weights, wsr, for each element within the receive array subarrays. This syntax is applicable when you use a subarray as the receive array and set the SubarraySteering property to 'Custom' or an phased.NRRectangularPanelArray System object that uses each panel as a subarray.

You can combine optional input arguments when their enabling properties are set. For example, [Y,CR,TAU] = step(channel,X,txpos,txvel,txaxesrxpos,rxvel,rxaxes,scatpos,scatvel,scatcoef).

[Y,CR,TAU] = step(channel,X,steert,steerr,txpos,txvel,txaxesrxpos,rxvel,rxaxes,scatpos,scatvel,scatcoef)

Note

The object performs an initialization the first time the step method is executed. This initialization locks nontunable properties and input specifications, such as dimensions, complexity, and data type of the input data. If you change a nontunable property or an input specification, the System object issues an error. To change nontunable properties or inputs, you must first call the release method to unlock the object.
