What is elevation angle in radar?
Elevation angle is the angle between the horizontal plane and the line of sight, measured in the vertical plane. The reference direction (i.e. an elevation angle of zero degrees) is a horizontal line in the direction to the horizon, starting from the antenna.
What is azimuth and elevation in radar?
The radar needs 3 pieces of information to determine the location of a target. The first piece of information is the angle of the radar beam with respect to north; called the "azimuth angle". The second is the angle of the beam with respect to the ground; called the "elevation angle".
What is azimuth and elevation?
Azimuth and Elevation are measures used to identify the position of a satellite flying overhead. Azimuth tells you what direction to face and Elevation tells you how high up in the sky to look. Both are measured in degrees.
