    public class FDOA
    extends AbstractMeasurement<FDOA>
    Class modeling a Frequency Difference of Arrival measurement with a satellite as emitter and two ground stations as receivers.

    FDOA measures the difference in signal arrival frequency between the emitter and receivers, corresponding to a difference in range-rate 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 frequency of the signal received at the prime station at the date of the measurement minus the frequency of the signal received at the second station: fdoa = f1 - f2

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