Q: Packing Efficiency of Diamond

Arjun GhoshI was trying to find the packing efficiency of diamond using its crystal structure. Diamond can be viewed as an expanded FCC structure in which carbon atoms occupy alternate tetrahedral voids. Clearly there are $4+\frac{8}{2} = 8$ atoms per unit cell, now since a carbon atom is in the tetrahedral...

Q: can a uniform linear array (ULA) be used to estimate both elevation and azimuth angles?

ananyaI wanted to clarify that, If an ULA has certain crab angle with the velocity direction, then it can be used to estimate both elevation and azimuth angles of the target, is that right? If that's correct, what is a practical value of crab angle which is used and how much range of azimuth and eleva...
