Pass

class sorts.passes.Pass(t, enu, inds=None, cache=True, station_id=None)

Bases: object

Saves the local coordinate data for a single pass. Optionally also indicates the location of that pass in a bigger dataset.

Methods

__init__(t, enu[, inds, cache, station_id])	Initialize self.
calculate_range(enu)	Norm of the ENU coordinates.
calculate_range_rate(enu)	Projected ENU velocity along the ENU range.
calculate_snr(tx, rx, diameter)	Uses the signals.hard_target_snr function to calculate the optimal SNR curve of a target during the pass if the TX and RX stations are pointing at the object.
calculate_zenith_angle(enu[, radians])	Zenith angle of the ENU coordinates.
end()	The ending time of the pass (uses cached value after first call if self.cache=True).
get_range()	Get ranges from all stations involved in the pass.
get_range_rate()	Get range rates from all stations involved in the pass.
get_zenith_angle([radians])	Get zenith angles for all stations involved in the pass.
range()	Get ranges from all stations involved in the pass (uses cached value after first call if self.cache=True).
range_rate()	Get range rates from all stations involved in the pass (uses cached value after first call if self.cache=True).
start()	The Start time of the pass (uses cached value after first call if self.cache=True).
zenith_angle([radians])	Get zenith angles from all stations involved in the pass (uses cached value after first call if self.cache=True).

Attributes
