      • value

        double value​(double polarAngle,
                     double azimuthAngle)
        Evaluate phase center variation in one signal direction.
        Parameters:
        polarAngle - angle from antenna axial direction (zenith angle for receiver antennas, nadir angle for GNSS satellites antennas)
        azimuthAngle - angle around axial direction, counted from +X to +Y (note that this convention is consistent with Vector3D.getAlpha(), but it is different from TrackingCoordinates.getAzimuth(), so care must be taken when using this for ground receivers)
        Returns:
        phase center variation in the signal direction (m)
