Method Detail

pathDelay

double pathDelay(double elevation,
                 double height)

Calculates the tropospheric path delay for the signal path from a ground station to a satellite.

Parameters:

elevation - the elevation of the satellite, in radians

height - the height of the station in m above sea level

Returns:

the path delay due to the troposphere in m
