Input Arguments
parent
— Element of scenario to which receiver is added
scalar | vector
Element of scenario to which the receiver is added, specified as a scalar or vector of satellites, ground stations or gimbals. The number of receivers specified is determined by the size of the inputs.
If
parent
is a scalar, all receivers are added to the parent.If
parent
is a vector and the number of receivers specified is one, that receiver is added to each parent.If
parent
is a vector and the number of receivers specified is more than one, the number of receivers must equal the number ofparent
s and eachparent
gets one receiver.
Name-Value Arguments
Specify optional pairs of arguments as
Name1=Value1,...,NameN=ValueN
, where Name
is
the argument name and Value
is the corresponding value.
Name-value arguments must appear after other arguments, but the order of the
pairs does not matter.
Before R2021a, use commas to separate each name and value, and enclose
Name
in quotes.
Example: 'MountingAngle',[20; 35; 10]
sets the yaw, pitch, and roll
angles of the receiver to 20, 35, and 10 degrees, respectively.
Name
— receiver name
"receiver
idx"
(default) | string scalar | string vector | character vector | cell array of character vectors
You can set this property only when calling the satellite
function.
After you call satellite
, this property is read-only.
receiver name, specified as a comma-separated pair consisting of
'Name'
and a string scalar, string vector, character vector or a cell
array of character vectors.
If only one receiver is added, specify
Name
as a string scalar or a character vector.If multiple receivers are added, specify
Name
as a string scalar, character vector, string vector or a cell array of character vectors. All receivers added as a string scalar or a character vector are assigned the same specified name. The number of elements in the string vector or cell array of character vector must equal the number of receivers being added. Each receiver is assigned the corresponding name from the vector or cell array.
In the default value, idx is the ID of the receivers added by the receiver object function.
Data Types: char
| string
MountingLocation

Mounting location with respect to the parent object in meters, specified as a three-element
vector or a matrix. The position vector is specified in the body frame of
the input parent

s are assigned to all specified receivers. When specified as a matrix,MountingLocation
must contain three rows and the same number of columns as the receivers. The columns correspond to the mounting location of each specified receiver and the rows correspond to the mounting location coordinates in the parent body frame.
When the AutoSimulate
property of the satellite scenario is
false
, you can modify the
MountingLocation
property only when the
SimulationStatus
is NotStarted
. You
can use the restart
function to reset
SimulationStatus

[0; 0; 0]
(default) | three-element row vector of positive numbers | matrix
Mounting orientation with respect to parent object in degrees, specified as a three-element row vector of positive numbers. The elements of the vector correspond to yaw, pitch, and roll in that order. Yaw, pitch, and roll are positive rotations about the parent's z - axis, intermediate y - axis and intermediate x - axis of the parent.
One receiver —
MountingAngles
is a three-element vector.Multiple receivers —
MountingAngles
can be a three-element vector or a matrix. When specified as a vector, the sameMountingAngles
s are assigned to all specified receivers. When specified as a matrix,MountingAngles

false
, you can modify the MountingAngles
property only when the SimulationStatus
