WinProp_Receiver

Data Fields

Detailed Description

Structure for receiver configuration if point mode is on.

Orientation of Angles The orientation of the angles and the transformation from the world frame into the body frame of the receiver is as follows:

• Yaw angle (heading): Psi
• Pitch angle (inclination angle): Theta
• Roll angle (bank angle): Phi

In the following index g means global (world) frame and index f means body frame.Rotate the XYZ-system about the z-axis (zg-axis) by Psi. x-axis (xg-axis) is now k1 and y- axis (yg-axis) is now k2.Rotate the XYZ-system about the now rotated y-axis (k2-axis) by Theta. k1-axis is now xf-axis and zg-axis is now k3-axis.Rotate the XYZ-system a third time about the new x-axis (xf-axis) by Phi. k2-axis is now yf- axis and k3-axis is now zf-axis.Thus the sequence of rotation is: Psi > Theta > Phi

Figure 1. Sequence of rotations: zg - k2 - xf

Field Documentation

Location

COORDPOINT WinProp_Receiver::Location

Location of receiver (x, y, z)

Pattern

WinProp_Pattern * WinProp_Receiver::Pattern

Pattern of receiving antenna (if NULL, no pattern is considered)

PatternPolHoriz

WinProp_Pattern * WinProp_Receiver::PatternPolHoriz

Horizontal pattern of Receiver. Can be optionally defined.

AngleYaw

double WinProp_Receiver::AngleYaw

Yaw angle (degrees)

AnglePitch

double WinProp_Receiver::AnglePitch

Pitch angle (degrees)

AngleRoll

double WinProp_Receiver::AngleRoll

Roll angle (degrees)

Direction

COORDPOINT WinProp_Receiver::Direction

Direction of movement (x,y,z)

HeightAbsolute

int WinProp_Receiver::HeightAbsolute

Height definition of receiving antenna.

• 0 = Height relative to ground
• 1 = Height absolute to sea level
• 2 = Height relative to floors (only in case of indoor scenarios)

GroupID

int WinProp_Receiver::GroupID

GroupID definition in case of moving receiving antenna (only in case of indoor scenarios).

• 1 = stationary 0 = ID of moving group together which receiving antenna is moving

PointSize

double WinProp_Receiver::PointSize

Size of the point, needs to be identical for all points provided to WinProp_Predict_Points. Defines resolution of prediction grid for DPM. For other propagation models it has only visual impact.
