Each sensor domain has its own subdirectory with specific implementations:
air/: Air monitoring sensors (weather, particulate matter, gas, etc.)sea/: Sea monitoring sensors (buoy, water quality, sonar, etc.)ground/: Ground monitoring sensors (seismic, GPR, soil moisture, etc.)infrastructure/: Infrastructure monitoring sensors (strain, accelerometer, etc.)radar/: Radar simulation components including PDW simulatorpdw_simulator.py: PDW generation and simulationmodels.py: Data models and structuresutils.py: Radar-specific utilities

api/: API reference documentationexamples/: Example code and usagetutorials/: Step-by-step tutorialsconf.py: Sphinx configuration
- Unit tests organized by module
- Integration tests
- Test utilities and fixtures
examples/: Standalone example scriptsnotebooks/: Jupyter notebooks for interactive demos
Each sensor type is implemented as a separate module with:
- Parameter configuration
- Data generation models
- Noise and error injection
- Output formatting
The PDW simulator is implemented in pulse/sensors/radar/ and includes:
- Pulse generation
- Radar-sensor interaction modeling
- Error and noise simulation
- Data output formatting
Common functionality is provided through utility modules:
- Data generation helpers
- Noise models
- Validation functions
- Configuration management
- Follow the existing directory structure when adding new features
- Place tests in the corresponding test directory
- Update documentation when adding new functionality
- Include examples for new features
- Maintain consistency with existing code style
The project structure supports easy addition of:
- New sensor types
- Additional simulation models
- Extended utility functions
- More examples and tutorials
For detailed development guidelines, please refer to the CONTRIBUTING.md file.
