% Link analysis computing bit error probability along an orbit. The orbit is the spaceraft position in km. Each orbit position must have a corresponding Julian day number. Modulations are 'BPSK' 'QPSK' 'DE-BPSK' 'DE-QPSK' 'D-BPSK' The output is the bit error probability as a function of the orbit position. This will be zero if the ground station is not visible. Assumes antenna is omni-directional. Note that the TSky model is limited to frequencies between 2.5 and 60 GHz. If a frequency outside this is entered the closest endpoint is used. Type LinkOrbitAnalysis for a demo.
