I’ve read the following relationship: Yaw = Azimuth and Pitch = Elevation, at least for inertial measurement units. Does it apply for other applications?
What you said is absolutely correct, but what about the relationship? As far as I know Yaw and Pitch belong to Euler rotations which are often used for platforms such as aircrafts.
You’re getting your bloomers in a bunch over nomenclature. Again, what do you mean by “other applications”? Give an example. aircraft? Ships? Ultimate frisbee?
Actually I’m interested in antennas mounted on moving platforms such as boats. I think antennas and telescopes have only azimuth and elevation but boats have yaw, pitch and roll. For mounted antennas Yaw = Azimuth and Pitch = Elevation. Roll doesn’t play a role in this case (at most polarisation). Does this make sense so far?
