The Receiver Object
The Receiver object models the characteristics of a receiver, the antenna it uses and the environment in which it operates. Select one or more of the following to model a receiver and impose constraints:
Basic Properties
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| Definition | Define the characteristics of the receiver. |
| Refraction | Model atmospheric refraction. |
| Description | Record useful information about the receiver. |
2D Graphics Properties
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| Contours | Define the display of contour lines and receiver patterns. |
| Boresight | Define the display of boresight graphics. |
3D Graphics Properties
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| Attributes | Control the display of contour lines and receiver patterns. |
| Vector | Control the display of vectors and other geometric elements related to the receiver. |
Constraints
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| Basic | Impose minimum elevation and line-of-sight constraints on access from the receiver to another object. |
| Noise | Impose constraints on a receiver related to system noise temperature. |
| Comm | Impose a variety of communications link constraints on the receiver. |
| Interference | Set constraints in terms of certain link performance indicators as affected by interference. |
| Sun | Impose a variety of access constraints from the receiver to another object based on the position of the Sun and the Moon. |
| Temporal | Impose time-based access constraints from the receiver to another object. |
| Advanced | impose a variety of receiver-specific constraints. |
| Zones | Use inclusion and exclusion zones to define areas where access is or is not allowed. |
| Targeting | Define the relationship between the receiver and the target of that receiver. |
| Vector | Constrain access computations with respect to any valid vector or angle. |
| Special | Special access constraints are defined in terms of geostationary belt exclusion, height above horizon, terrain grazing angle and exclusion of other scenario objects. |
| Plugins | An interface is provided for defining custom constraints in terms of user-supplied scripts created in Perl, VBScript and MATLAB. |
