public class RangeRate
extends AbstractMeasurement<RangeRate>

Class modeling one-way or two-way range rate measurement between two vehicles. One-way range rate (or Doppler) measurements generally apply to specific satellites (e.g. GNSS, DORIS), where a signal is transmitted from a satellite to a measuring station. Two-way range rate measurements are applicable to any system. The signal is transmitted to the (non-spinning) satellite and returned by a transponder (or reflected back)to the same measuring station. The Doppler measurement can be obtained by multiplying the velocity by (fe/c), where fe is the emission frequency.

Constructor Detail

RangeRate

public RangeRate(GroundStation station,
                 AbsoluteDate date,
                 double rangeRate,
                 double sigma,
                 double baseWeight,
                 boolean twoway)
          throws OrekitException

Simple constructor.

Parameters:

station - ground station from which measurement is performed

date - date of the measurement

rangeRate - observed value, m/s

sigma - theoretical standard deviation

baseWeight - base weight

twoway - if true, this is a two-way measurement

Throws:

OrekitException - if a ParameterDriver name conflict occurs

Method Detail

getStation

public GroundStation getStation()

Get the ground station from which measurement is performed.

Returns:

ground station from which measurement is performed

theoreticalEvaluation

protected EstimatedMeasurement<RangeRate> theoreticalEvaluation(int iteration,
                                                                int evaluation,
                                                                SpacecraftState state)
                                                         throws OrekitException

Estimate the theoretical value.

The theoretical value does not have any modifiers applied.

Specified by:

theoreticalEvaluation in class AbstractMeasurement<RangeRate>

Parameters:

iteration - iteration number

evaluation - evaluation number

state - orbital state at measurement date

Returns:

theoretical value

Throws:

OrekitException - if value cannot be computed
