radarx.fundamentals.geometry.beam_center_height(range_m, elevation_deg, radar_height=0.0, reff=8494666.666666666)[source]#

Calculate height of beam center above sea level.

Parameters:

range_m (float or array-like) – Slant range from radar [m]
elevation_deg (float) – Elevation angle [degrees]
radar_height (float) – Radar site altitude [m]
reff (float) – Effective Earth radius [m]

Returns:

float or array-like – Beam center height [m]
