% 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.
