    • checkIfPathIsValid

      protected final Boolean checkIfPathIsValid(Vector3D position, Vector3D p1, Vector3D p2, Double baseAltitude)
      Checks to see if it is valid to calculate the ionospheric path delay for a position endpoint value w.r.t. the minimum altitude point between two given objects (whether they are space or ground based).
      Parameters:
      position - position of object value being considered (one of the two endpoints)
      p1 - position of first endpoint in the link
      p2 - position of second endpoint in the link
      baseAltitude - altitude of the groundpoint that represents the minimum altitude value on the path between p1 and p2
      Returns:
      True if the path delay needs to be calculated

    • checkIfPathIsValid

      protected final <T extends CalculusFieldElement<T>> Boolean checkIfPathIsValid(FieldVector3D<T> position, FieldVector3D<T> p1, FieldVector3D<T> p2, Double baseAltitude)
      Checks to see if it is valid to calculate the ionospheric path delay for a position endpoint value w.r.t. the minimum altitude point between two given objects (whether they are space or ground based).
      Type Parameters:
      T - type of the elements
      Parameters:
      position - position of object value being considered (one of the two endpoints)
      p1 - position of first endpoint in the link
      p2 - position of second endpoint in the link
      baseAltitude - altitude of the groundpoint that represents the minimum altitude value on the path between p1 and p2
      Returns:
      True if the path delay needs to be calculated
