Change ionospheric models API
Current API used for the computation of the path delay due to ionospheric effects limits the implementation of new ionospheric models. Current API can be improved by:
- Add
SpacecraftState
information and the possibility to estimate some ionospheric model parameters. - Add the frequency parameter to limit the number of model initialization.
- Replace
GeodeticPoint
, elevation and azimuth parameters withTopocentricFrame
parameter.
Old method parameters: pathDelay(AbsoluteDate date, GeodeticPoint geo, double elevation, double azimuth)
New method parameters: pathDelay(SpacecraftState state, TopocentricFrame baseFrame, double frequency, double[] parameters)
