    Syntax

    lp = linkPercentage(lnk)

    Description

    lp = linkPercentage(lnk) returns the percentage of time from start time to stop time of the satellite scenario when the link between the first and last node is closed.

    Open Live Script

    Create a satellite scenario object.

    startTime = datetime(2020,11,13,7,25,0);
stopTime = startTime + days(1);
sampleTime = 60;                                       % seconds
sc = satelliteScenario(startTime,stopTime,sampleTime);

    Add a satellite to the scenario.

    semiMajorAxis = 10000000;                               % meters
eccentricity = 0;
inclination = 10;                                       % degrees
rightAscensionOfAscendingNode = 0;                      % degrees
argumentOfPeriapsis = 0;                                % degrees
trueAnomaly = 210;                                      % degrees
sat = satellite(sc,semiMajorAxis,eccentricity, ...
    inclination,rightAscensionOfAscendingNode, ...
    argumentOfPeriapsis,trueAnomaly);

    Add a receiver to the satellite.

    rx = receiver(sat);

    Add a ground station to the scenario.

    latitude = 0;                             % degrees
longitude = 30;                           % degrees
gs = groundStation(sc,latitude,longitude);

    Add a transmitter to the ground station.

    tx = transmitter(gs,"MountingAngles",[0; 180; 0]);

    Create an uplink.

    lnk = link(tx,rx);

    Calculate the link percentage of the uplink.

    linkpercent = linkPercentage(lnk)
    linkpercent = 
0

    Input Arguments

    collapse all

    Link analysis object, specified as a Link object vector or scalar.

    Outputs Arguments

    collapse all

    Link percentage, returned as a vector of positive numbers or a scalar.

    Note

    When the AutoSimulate property of the satellite scenario is true, the link percentage corresponds to the duration between StartTime and StopTime. When the property is false, the link percentage corresponds to the duration between StartTime and SimulationTime.
