Class TDOA

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Comparable<ComparableMeasurement>, ComparableMeasurement, ObservedMeasurement<TDOA>, TimeStamped, ParameterDriversProvider

    public class TDOA
    extends SignalBasedMeasurement<T>
    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.
