/** Class modifying theoretical angular measurement with ionospheric delay.
 * The effect of ionospheric correction on the angular measurement is computed
 * through the computation of the ionospheric delay. The spacecraft state
 * is shifted by the computed delay time and elevation and azimuth are computed
 * again with the new spacecraft state.
 *
 * The ionospheric delay depends on the frequency of the signal (GNSS, VLBI, ...).
 * For optical measurements (e.g. SLR), the ray is not affected by ionosphere charged particles.
 * <p>
 * Since 10.0, state derivatives and ionospheric parameters derivates are computed
 * using automatic differentiation.
