eci2aer
Convert Earth-centered inertial (ECI) coordinates to azimuth, elevation, slant range (AER) coordinates
Syntax
Description
aer = eci2aer(
converts
Earth-centered inertial coordinates, specified by position, to azimuth,
elevation, and slant range (AER) coordinates, based on the geodetic
position (latitude, longitude, and altitude). The conversion is based
on the Universal Coordinated Time (UTC) you specify.position

)
Azimuth (A) — Angle measured clockwise from true north. It ranges from 0 to 360 degrees.
Elevation (E) — Angle between a plane perpendicular to the ellipsoid and the line that goes from the local reference to the object position. It ranges from –90 to 90 degrees.
Slant range (R) — Straight line distance between the local reference and the object, meters.

to azimuth, elevation, and slant range coordinates. The conversion
is based on the specified reduction method and the Universal Coordinated
Time you specify.
