CommunicationObjectScalar Class

Initializes a new instance.

Initializes a new instance as a copy of an existing instance.

Initialize a new instance based on the given parameters.

Gets or sets the object which provides the services needed to compute this scalar.

Gets or sets the strategy used to identify the signal to be used when computing this scalar.

Gets a value indicating whether this object is frozen. A frozen object cannot be modified and an ObjectFrozenException will be thrown if an attempt is made to do so.

Gets or sets the graph of communication links used to propagate signals.

Gets or sets a value indicating whether this scalar's values will be converted to a logarithmic scale when performing sampling for access calculations. Most communication scalars span an extremely large range of values, especially for wireless communications over large distances. In order to avoid comparing values above one with values very near zero, the logarithmic scale gives a better means of analyzing the behavior of the function without running into numerical issue with floating point numbers. This value is set by its derived classes and in most cases is set to false by default. The notable exception is the ScalarBitErrorRateTModulation, which has a range of value from zero to one and therefore does not use a logarithmic scale.

Adds a fixed scalar to this one.

Adds another scalar to this one.

Checks to determine if another instance has the same definition as this instance and returns if it does. Derived classes MUST override this method and check all new fields introduced by the derived class for definitional equivalence. It is NOT necessary to check base class fields because the base class will already have done that. When overriding this method, you should NOT call the base implementation because it will return for all derived-class instances. Derived classes should check the type of other to preserve the symmetric nature of IsSameDefinition(Object).

Clones this object using the specified context.

Computes a hash code based on the current properties of this object. Derived classes MUST override this method and compute a hash code that combines: a unique hash code seed, the base implementation result, and the hash codes of all new fields introduced by the derived class which are used in the CheckForSameDefinition(DefinitionalObject) method.

Constructs a scalar which represents a derivative of this scalar.

Divides this scalar (numerator) by a fixed value (denominator).

Divides this scalar (numerator) by another one (denominator).

Enumerates the dependencies of this object by calling EnumerateT(T) for each object that this object directly depends upon. Derived classes which contain additional dependencies MUST override this method, call the base implementation, and enumerate dependencies introduced by the derived class.

Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object.

Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection.

Freezes this object. Further attempts to modify it will result in an ObjectFrozenException.

Called by Freeze to also freeze any objects that are considered to be a part of this object. Derived classes which contain additional aggregated objects MUST override this method, call the base implementation, and freeze aggregated objects introduced by the derived class. The objects that need to be frozen in this method are frequently created in this object's constructor and are not settable via properties.

Gets a hash code representing the definition of this object.

Gets an evaluator that can be used to find the value of this scalar function at a given JulianDate.

Gets an evaluator that can be used to find the value of this scalar function at a given JulianDate. Adds the evaluator to the EvaluatorGroup.

Serves as the default hash function.

Gets the Type of the current instance.

Determines if this object has the same definition as another object.

Creates a shallow copy of the current Object.

Multiplies this scalar with a fixed value.

Multiplies another scalar with this one.

Raises this scalar to the given fixed exponent.

Subtracts a fixed scalar from this one.

Subtracts another scalar from this one.

Throws ObjectFrozenException if this object IsFrozen. This method should be called from any method or property that modifies this object.

Returns a string that represents the current object.

Checks to see if any of the properties are null and, if so, throws an exception.
