Azimuth Broadside Converter
Convert azimuth angle to wide angle or wide angle to azimuth angle.
Description
The Azimuth Broadside Converter block converts an angular direction expressed in inclination angles to an equivalent azimuth angle, or converts an azimuth angle to an equivalent inclination angle. In both cases, the elevation angle must be specified.
Ports
Input
az - azimuth angle
scalar | real vector
An azimuthal angle of direction given as a scalar quantity or vector of real numbers. The units of measurement are degrees. If az is a vector, the dimensions of az and el must coincide.
Dependencies
To use this port, set the Conversion Mode parameters to azimuth -> broadside.

bsd - slope angle
scalar | real vector
An angle of inclination given as a scalar or vector of real values. The units of measurement are degrees. If bsd is a vector, the dimensions of bsd and el must coincide.

Data types: Float16, Float32, Float64, Int8, Int16, Int32, Int64, UInt8, UInt16, UInt32, UInt64, Bool.
el - elevation angle
scalar | real vector
The angle of elevation of a direction, given as a scalar or vector of real values. The units of measure are degrees. The dimensionality of el must coincide with the dimensionality of az and bsd.
