Class TimeOfFlightEstimator.TofInterval

  • Enclosing class:
    TimeOfFlightEstimator

    public static class TimeOfFlightEstimator.TofInterval
    extends Object
    Used for polynomial interpolation of time of flight based on ERT.

    Each interval has a start/stop and a set of polynomial coefficients.

    The time of flight tof corresponding to a given earth reception time ert is given by the formula:

     delta = ert - ertStart
     tof =c[0] + c[1]*delta + c[2]*delta^2 + ...
     
    where ertStart is the start of the interval and c are the polynomial coefficients. delta is the duration of the given ert from the interval start.

    delta as well as tof are expressed in seconds.
