public class TDOA
extends SignalBasedMeasurement<TDOA>

Class modeling a Time Difference of Arrival measurement with a satellite as emitter and two observers as receivers.

TDOA measures the difference in signal arrival time between the emitter and receivers, corresponding to a difference in ranges from the two receivers to the emitter.

The date of the measurement corresponds to the reception of the signal by the prime station. The measurement corresponds to the date of the measurement minus the date of reception of the signal by the second station: tdoa = tr1 - tr2

The motion of the sensors and the satellite during the signal flight time are taken into account.

Since:

Parameters:

iteration - iteration number

evaluation - evaluation number

states - orbital states at measurement date

Returns:

theoretical value
