class DiffOneWayRangeIdeal(name: str, instrument: Instrument, sigma: ArrayWUnits = None, meas_bias: float = None, state_definition: StateArray = None, sequence_definition=None, ground_station_2: GroundStation = None)#

Bases: Measurement

Models the ideal differential one-way ranging measurement model.

Generates differenced ranging observables between two observers and a target. Observables are expressed in seconds.

The differential one-way range (DOR) observable is the difference in signal travel time from the target to two ground stations:

\[\Delta\tau = \frac{\rho_1 - \rho_2}{c}\]

where \(\rho_1\) and \(\rho_2\) are the ranges to ground stations 1 and 2 respectively, and \(c\) is the speed of light.

Parameters:

name (str) – Name of the measurement model.
instrument (Instrument) – Instrument object associated with the measurement model.
sigma (ArrayWUnits, optional) – Measurement standard deviation in seconds. Defaults to None.
meas_bias (float, optional) – Measurement bias. Defaults to None.
state_definition (StateVector, optional) – State vector definition list. Defaults to None.
sequence_definition (list, optional) – Sequence definition list. Defaults to None.
ground_station_2 (GroundStation, optional) – Second ground station needed for the differential measurement model. Defaults to None.

Generates a MeasurementDataSet object that can be used by filters downstream.

Parameters:

Return type:

list[MeasurementDataSet]

:raises If the observed_meas list is only made by 3 elements`, it throws an error because it needs the 4th element in the list for the indices of :py:class:`the outlier_flag:

Notes

The MeasurementDataSet output is generated in 6 steps:

Computed measurements
Partials
Residuals
Sigmas
Outlier flag
Pack everything in a list
Pack the list in a MeasurementDataSet object

Notes

The writing of the json assumes or requires units and frames.
