Members
int status; Status code of radar site (1 operational, -1 decomissioned).
double tval; Time at which this hardware entry became valid.
double geolat; Geographic latitude of site.
double geolon; Geographic longitude of site.
double alt; Altitude of site.
double boresite; Boresight angle.
double bmoff; Electronic beam offset angle.
double bmsep; Beam separation angle.
double vdir; Definition of velocity direction. (+1.0 is normal, -1.0 indicates that the I & Q inputs to the receiver are reversed).
double tdiff[2]; Time delay in microseconds of the signal from the interferometer array and the main array for each radar channel (up to two channels are allowed).
double phidiff; Sign of the phase shift of the interferometer array (+1 indicates the inteferometer is in front of the main array).
double interfer[3]; The x, y, z position of the interferometer array with respect to the main array. The values are given in meters. X is in the direction parallel to the main array, with +X being to the right looking along the boresight. Y is in the boresight direction, with +Y in front of the array. Z is the vertical displacement, with +Z being up.
double recrise; Receiver rise time in microseconds.
double atten; Attenuation step in decibels.
int maxatten; Maximum number of attenuators.
int maxrange; Maximum theoretical range.
int maxbeam; Maximum theoretical number of beams.
