pybsm.simulation.functional.instantaneous_FOV(*, w: int, f: int) → float

The instantaneous field of view; i.e., the angular footprint of a single detector in object space.

Parameters:

• w (int) – detector size (width) in the x and y directions (m)

• f (int) – focal length (m)

Returns:

ifov:

detector instantaneous field-of-view (radians)

Raises:

ZeroDivisionError:

error raised when f is 0
