Description
The Range-Doppler Response block computes the range-Doppler map of an input signal. The output response is a matrix whose rows represent range gates and whose columns represent Doppler bins.
Parameters
- Range processing method
Specify the method of range processing as
Matched filter
orFFT
Matched filter
Applies a matched filter to the incoming signal. This technique is commonly used for pulsed signals, where the matched filter is the time reverse of the transmitted signal. Choosing this option creates the Coeff
input port.FFT
Performs range processing by applying an FFT to the input signal. This approach is commonly used with FMCW and linear FM pulsed signals. - Signal propagation speed (m/s)
Specify the propagation speed of the signal, in meters per second, as a positive scalar.
- Source of pulse repetition frequency
Source of pulse repetition frequency, specified as
Auto
— automatically compute the pulse repetition frequency (PRF). The PRF is the sample rate of the signal divided by the number of rows in the input port signal,X
.Property
— specify the pulse repetition frequency using thePRF
parameter.Input port
— specify the PRF using thePRF
input port.
Use the

option when the pulse repetition frequency cannot be determined by the signal duration, as is the case with range-gated data.- Pulse repetition frequency of the input signal (Hz)
Pulse repetition frequency of the input signal, specified as a positive scalar.
PRF
must be less than or equal to the sample rate divided by the number of rows of the input signal. When the signal length is variable, use the maximum possible number of rows of the input signal instead.To enable this parameter, set the Source of pulse repetition frequency parameter to

Select this check box to inherit the sample rate from upstream blocks. Otherwise, specify the sample rate using the Sample rate (Hz) parameter.

, the generated Taylor window has four nearly-constant sidelobes adjacent to the mainlobe.- Set reference range at center
Set reference range at the center of range grid, specified as

oroff
. Selecting this check box, enables you to set the reference range at the center of the range grid. Otherwise, the reference range is set to the beginning of the range grid.- Reference range (m)
Reference range of the range grid, specified as a nonnegative scalar.
If you set the Range processing method parameter to
Matched filter
, the reference range is set to the start of the range grid.If you set the Range processing method property to
FFT
, the reference range depends on the Set reference range at center check box.When you select the Set reference range at center check box, the reference range is set to the center of the range grid.
If you do not select the Set reference range at center check box, the reference range is set to the start of the range grid.

,Chebyshev
, orTaylor
. Specify the sidelobe attenuation level as a positive scalar, in decibels.- Simulate using
Block simulation method, specified as
Interpreted Execution
orCode Generation
. If you want your block to use the MATLAB® interpreter, chooseInterpreted Execution
. If you want your block to run as compiled code, chooseCode Generation
. Compiled code requires time to compile but usually runs faster.Interpreted execution is useful when you are developing and tuning a model. The block runs the underlying System object™ in MATLAB. You can change and execute your model quickly. When you are satisfied with your results, you can then run the block using
Code Generation
. Long simulations run faster than they would in interpreted execution. You can run repeated executions without recompiling. However, if you change any block parameters, then the block automatically recompiles before execution.When setting this parameter, you must take into account the overall model simulation mode. The table shows how the Simulate using parameter interacts with the overall simulation mode.
When the Simulink® model is in
Accelerator
mode, the block mode specified using Simulate using overrides the simulation mode.Acceleration Modes

Interpreted Execution
The block executes using the MATLAB interpreter. The block executes using the MATLAB interpreter. Creates a standalone executable from the model. Code Generation
The block is compiled. All blocks in the model are compiled. For more information, see Choosing a Simulation Mode (Simulink).

The block input and output ports correspond to the input and
