which can be a Satellite
s,
GroundStation
s,
or Gimbal
s.
transmitter(

,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.

. Specify any input argument
combination from previous syntaxes.
Note
When AutoSimulate

, you
can call transmitter
only when SimulationStatus
is NotStarted
. Otherwise, you must

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, 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.
Before R2021a, use commas to separate each name and value, and enclose
Name
in quotes.
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 satellite
function.
After you call satellite
, this property is read-only.
transmitter name, specified as a comma-separated pair consisting of
'Name'
and a string scalar, string vector, character vector or a cell
array of character vectors.
If only one transmitter is added, specify
Name
as a string scalar or a character vector.If multiple transmitters are added, specify
Name
as a string scalar, character vector, string vector or a cell array of character vectors. All transmitters added 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 vector must equal the number of transmitters being added. Each transmitter is assigned the corresponding name from the vector or cell array.
In the default value, idx is the ID of the transmitters added by the transmitter object function.

false
, you can modify the
MountingLocation
property only when the
SimulationStatus
is NotStarted

[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 parent's z - axis, intermediate y - axis and intermediate x - axis of the parent.
One transmitter —
MountingAngles
is a three-element vector.Multiple transmitters —
MountingAngles
can be a three-element vector or a matrix. When specified as a vector, the sameMountingAngles
s are assigned to all specified transmitters. When specified as a matrix,MountingAngles
must contain three rows and the same number of columns as the transmitters. The columns correspond to the mounting angles of each specified transmitter and the rows correspond to the yaw, pitch, and roll angles parent body frame.

false
, you can modify the MountingAngles
property only when the SimulationStatus
is NotStarted
. You can use the
restart
function to
reset SimulationStatus

so erases the simulation data.
