tb_beamform_delay_sum — 2D typed op

tb_beamform_delay_sum: input → output

図は合成の入力 128×128 で実際に走らせた出力。左が入力、右が出力。点群は上から見た散布(明るさ = z)、1-D 列は折れ線、体積は z 方向の最大値投影、動画は中央フレーム、複素画像は振幅、絵にならない返り値は値そのもの。

つまみ a を振る(0.1 / 0.5 / 0.9、もう一方は既定):

つまみ b は出力を変えない(実測: 0.1 / 0.5 / 0.9 で同一)。

使い方

Delay-and-sum (Bartlett) angle spectrum for one range-Doppler cell.

Takes the per-antenna complex value at a single range-Doppler cell — by default the strongest one — and for each steering angle removes the expected inter-element phase and sums:

P(theta) = |sum_k conj(exp(1j*2*pi*d*k*sin(theta)/lambda)) * x_k|^2

which peaks at the true arrival angle with value (N_a * |a|)^2: the aperture gives N_a in amplitude, N_a^2 in power. That is the exact ground truth the tests pin. Measured with 8 elements: the peak power is bit-exactly (N_a*N_c*N_s)^2 = 268435456 (relative error 0.0), and sweeping the true angle from -80 to +80 degrees in 5-degree steps (33 cases) the reported angle matches the truth with a maximum error of 0.0 degrees.

The steering grid defaults to arange(-90, 90.5, 1.0). normalize=True divides by N_a^2 * N_c^2 * N_s^2 so that a unit-amplitude bin-centred target peaks at 1.0.

Returns a 1-D float64 array of powers, one per grid angle — a plain signal, so :mod:dsp’s find_peaks and :mod:funct1d’s smoothing apply to it. Use :func:beamform_doa if you want the angles themselves.

range_bin is a plain 0..N_s-1 index; doppler_bin is the signed velocity bin, the same convention :func:range_doppler_peaks reports, so a detection can be handed straight back in. Both or neither — half a cell address raises rather than quietly beamforming the strongest cell instead.

Raises ValueError: no aperture — either a single element, or many elements packed into under ~0.28 wavelengths. In both cases the spectrum is flat to within float noise and argmax returns the first grid angle, i.e. a confident report of -90 degrees that is pure tie-breaking (measured: 8 elements at 1e-12 m spacing gave a peak-to-trough spread of exactly 0.0 and reported -90.0). Also: an all-zero cube or an all-zero selected cell; only one of range_bin / doppler_bin; an out-of-bounds bin index; an angle grid outside [-90, 90]; an FFT that overflows to NaN; plus the usual cube and scalar refusals.

Typed bridge of the rangedoppler op beamform_delay_sum into the 2-D evolution registry: the same implementation, called under the op(v, a, b) convention. a drives wavelength_m (default 0.0038934); b is unused.

実行できる例(この op を実際に呼ぶ検証済みサンプル)

次の例は元の台帳 op beamform_delay_sum を呼ぶもの。この橋渡し op は同じ実装を fn(v, a, b) 規約に合わせただけなので、挙動はそのまま当てはまる(呼び出し形だけ違う)。
