Description
transmitter(
adds a parent
)Transmitter
object to the parent
which can be a Satellite
s,
GroundStation
s,
Platform
s, or
Gimbal
s.
transmitter(
adds transmitters to parents in parent
,Name=Value
)parent
using additional parameters
specified by optional name-value arguments. For example, MountingAngle=[20; 35;
10]
sets the yaw, pitch, and roll angles of the transmitter to 20, 35, and 10
degrees, respectively.

combination from previous syntaxes.
Note
When the AutoSimulate
property of the satellite scenario is
false
, you can call the transmitter

Input Arguments
parent
— Element of scenario to which transmitter is added
scalar | vector
Element of scenario to which the transmitter is added, specified as a scalar or vector of satellites, platforms, ground stations, or gimbals. The number of transmitters specified is determined by the size of the inputs.
If
parent
is a scalar, all transmitters are added to the parent.If
parent
is a vector and the number of transmitters specified is one, that transmitter is added to each parent.If
parent
is a vector and the number of transmitters specified is more than one, the number of transmitters must equal the number ofparent
s and eachparent
gets one transmitter.
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.
Example: MountingAngle=[20; 35; 10]
sets the yaw, pitch, and roll
angles of the transmitter to 20, 35, and 10 degrees, respectively.
Name
— Transmitter name
"Transmitter idx"
(default) | string scalar | string vector | character vector | cell array of character vectors
You can set this property only when calling the transmitter
function. After you call the transmitter
function, this property
is read-only.
Transmitter name, specified as a name-value argument consisting of
'Name'
and a string scalar, string vector, character vector, or
a cell array of character vectors.
If you are adding only one transmitter, specify
Name
as a string scalar or a character vector.If you are adding multiple transmitters, specify
Name
as a string scalar, character vector, string vector, or a cell array of character vectors. All transmitters that you add 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 vectors must equal the number of transmitters that you are adding. Each transmitter is assigned the corresponding name from the vector or cell array.
In the default value, idx is the ID assigned by the satellite scenario.

must contain three rows and the same number of columns as the transmitters. The columns correspond to the mounting location of each specified transmitter and the rows correspond to the mounting location coordinates in the parent body frame.
When the AutoSimulate
property of the satellite scenario is
false

so erases the simulation data.

[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 z-axis, intermediate y-axis, and intermediate x-axis of the parent.
If you are adding one transmitter, the
MountingAngles
property is a three-element vector.If you are adding multiple transmitters the
MountingAngles
property can be a three-element vector or a matrix. When specified as a vector, the same set of mounting angles are assigned to all specified transmitters. When specified as a matrix,MountingAngles
