quanttemp

Quantization temperature

Since R2021a

    Description

    example

    qtemp = quanttemp(Ts,B) returns the quantization temperature in Kelvin based on the system temperature Ts and the number of bits B.

    example

    qtemp = quanttemp(___,Name,Value) returns the quantization temperature with additional options specified by one or more name-value pairs. For example, 'ReferenceTemperature',275 specifies a reference temperature of 275 K.

    [qtemp,qnf] = quanttemp(___) also outputs the quantization noise figure qnf in decibels.

    Examples

    collapse all

    Calculate the quantization temperature for a radar with a system temperature of 1000 K and number of bits equal to 10.

    Ts = 1000;
    B = 10;
    
    qtemp = quanttemp(Ts,B)
    qtemp = 41.7656
    

    Calculate the quantization temperature for a radar with a system temperature of 1000 K and number of bits equal to 10. Assume a dynamic range of 45 dB.

    Ts = 1000;
    B = 10;
    
    qtemp = quanttemp(Ts,B,'DynamicRange',45)
    qtemp = 20.1052
    

    Input Arguments

    collapse all

    System temperature, specified as a positive scalar expressed in Kelvin.

    Data Types: double

    Number of bits, specified as a vector of positive integers. B and DynamicRange have the same length.

    Data Types: double

    Name-Value Arguments

    Specify optional pairs of arguments as Name1=Value1,...,NameN=ValueN, where Name is the argument name and Value is the corresponding value. Name-value arguments must appear after other arguments, but the order of the pairs does not matter.

    Before R2021a, use commas to separate each name and value, and enclose Name in quotes.

    Example: quanttemp(Ts,B,'DynamicRange',45) specifies a dynamic range of 45 dB.

    Dynamic range corresponding to the number of bits in B, specified as a vector expressed in decibels. B and DynamicRange have the same length.

    Reference temperature, specified as a positive scalar expressed in Kelvin.

    Output Arguments

    collapse all

    Quantization temperature in Kelvin, returned as a row vector.

    Quantization noise figure in decibels, returned as a row vector.
