# heightamb(1)

icompute height ambiguity for flat terrain

## NAME

heightamb - icompute height ambiguity for flat terrain

## DESCRIPTION

heightamb v1.1, BK software, Bert Kampes, (c)1999-2000

-

  Computes indicative height ambiguity for flat terrain as function of perpendicular baseline.  A larger Bperp yields more sensitivity to height, i.e., a decreasing height ambiguity (the height difference corresponding to a 2pi phase difference (a fringe)).

Program parameters (ERS):

- lambda:

  0\.0565646 \[m\]

- R1:

  850000\.0 \[m\]

- theta:

  23\.0 \[deg\]

- theta:

  \[rad\]

- terrain slope:

  0\.0 \[rad\]

### EXAMPLES:

-

  heightamb heightamb 100 heightamb 25 50 100 200 400 800

Input perp. Baseline \[m\]:

Bperp =  \[m\] **---**\>  Height ambiguity =  \[m/2pi\]
