Description
The BRTSUTDFFile object provides functionalities for reading Bilateration Ranging Transponder System (BRTS) Observation data (two-way Doppler and two-way range) from binary files written in the 75-byte binary Universal Tracking Data Format (UTDF). The time system for data contained in the BRTSUDTFFile is UTC, TwoWayRange data are given in km, and TwoWayDoppler data are given in Hz.
