    public class BistaticRange
    extends AbstractMeasurement<BistaticRange>
    Class modeling a bistatic range measurement using an emitter ground station and a receiver ground station.

    The measurement is considered to be a signal:

    • Emitted from the emitter ground station
    • Reflected on the spacecraft
    • Received on the receiver ground station
    The date of the measurement corresponds to the reception on ground of the reflected signal.

    The motion of the stations and the spacecraft during the signal flight time are taken into account.
