LinkOrbitAnalysis:

Path: CubeSat/Communications

% 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.
