adsbCategory

Enumeration of Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast categories

Since R2021a

Description

The adsbCategory enumeration class implements the list of categories used by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and described in ICAO Document 9871.

Creation

Description

cat = adsbCategory(category) creates an adsbCategory enumeration object with the specified category. category argument must be a valid category name, specified as a character vector or a string scalar. For example, adsbCategory('Obstacle') creates an Obstacle category. For a list of valid category names, see ADS-B Categories and Category Indices.

cat = adsbCategory(categoryIndex) creates an adsbCategory enumeration object using the specified category index. A valid categoryIndex is an integer from 0 to 15. For details, see ADS-B Categories and Category Indices.

The table lists the valid category names and their corresponding categoryIndex values. The argument values in the same row result in equivalent adsbCategory object creation.

Examples

Create ADS-B Categories

Create a UAV category using its category name.

uavCat = adsbCategory('Unmanned_Aerial_Vehicle')

uavCat = 
  adsbCategory enumeration

    Unmanned_Aerial_Vehicle

Create a UAV category using its category index.

uavCatByIndex = adsbCategory(12)

uavCatByIndex = 
  adsbCategory enumeration

    Unmanned_Aerial_Vehicle
