)numeric. Height in meter.
numeric. Slant range in m, the length of the skywave path between target and the radar antenna.
numeric. Beam elevation in degrees.
numeric. Height of the center of the radar antenna in meters
numeric. Beam opening angle in degrees, typically the angle between the half-power (-3 dB) points of the main lobe
Standard refraction coefficient.
Geodetic latitude of the radar in degrees.
Earth equatorial radius in km.
Earth polar radius in km.
numeric.
Beam profile is calculated using beam_height and beam_width. height and
antenna should be given in reference to the same reference plane (e.g. ground level or sea level)
