OpticalLinkReceiver.FieldOfView Property

Top

Description

The field of view of the optical receiver in radians. The field of view can be set to any custom value, or the GetFieldOfView method can optionally be used to compute the field of view of an optical receiver based on the specified PhotodiodeDiameter and FocalLength.

Field of view is used in the calculation of signal degradation due to background light power.
