Syntax

dcm=dcmeci2ecef(reduction,utc)
dcm=dcmeci2ecef(reduction,utc,deltaAT)
dcm=dcmeci2ecef(reduction,utc,deltaAT,deltaUT1)
dcm=dcmeci2ecef(reduction,utc,deltaAT,deltaUT1,polarmotion)
dcm=dcmeci2ecef(reduction,utc,deltaAT,deltaUT1,polarmotion,Name,Value)

Description

example

dcm=dcmeci2ecef(reduction,utc) calculates the position direction cosine matrix (ECI to ECEF) as a 3-by-3-by-M array. The calculation is based on the specified reduction method and Universal Coordinated Time (UTC).

example

dcm=dcmeci2ecef(reduction,utc,deltaAT) uses the difference between International Atomic Time and UTC to calculate the position direction cosine matrix.

dcm=dcmeci2ecef(reduction,utc,deltaAT,deltaUT1) uses the difference between UTC and Universal Time (UT1).

dcm=dcmeci2ecef(reduction,utc,deltaAT,deltaUT1,polarmotion) uses the polar displacement.

dcm=dcmeci2ecef(reduction,utc,deltaAT,deltaUT1,polarmotion,Name,Value) uses additional options specified by one or more Name,Value pair arguments.

Input Arguments

Reduction method to calculate the direction cosine matrix, specified as one of the following:

  • IAU-76/FK5

    Reduce the calculation using the International Astronomical Union (IAU)-76/Fifth Fundamental Catalogue (FK5) (IAU-76/FK5) reference system. Choose this reduction method if the reference coordinate system for the conversion is FK5. You can use the 'dNutation' Name,Value pair with this reduction.

    Note

    This method uses the IAU 1976 precession model and the IAU 1980 theory of nutation to reduce the calculation. This model and theory are no longer current, but the software provides this reduction method for existing implementations. Because of the polar motion approximation that this reduction method uses, dcmeci2ecef calculates the transformation matrix rather than the direction cosine matrix.

  • IAU-2000/2006

    Reduce the calculation using the International Astronomical Union (IAU)-2000/2005 reference system. Choose this reduction method if the reference coordinate system for the conversion is IAU-2000. This reduction method uses the P03 precession model to reduce the calculation. You can use the 'dCIP' Name,Value pair with this reduction.

Universal Coordinated Time (UTC) in the order year, month, day, hour, minutes, and seconds, for which the function calculates the direction cosine matrix, specified as one of the following.

  • For the year value, enter a double value that is a whole number greater than 1, such as 2013.

  • For the month value, enter a double value that is a whole number greater than 0, within the range 1 to 12.

  • For the day value, enter a double value that is a whole number greater than 0, within the range 1 to 31.

  • For the hour value, enter a double value that is a whole number greater than 0, within the range 1 to 24.

  • For the minute and second values, enter a double value that is a whole number greater than 0, within the range 1 to 60.

Specify these values in one of the following formats:

  • 1-by-6 array

    Specify a 1-row-by-6-column array of UTC values to calculate one direction cosine or transformation matrix.

  • M-by-6 matrix

    Specify an M-by-6 array of UTC values, where M is the number of direction cosine or transformation matrices to calculate. Each row corresponds to one set of UTC values.

Example: [2000 1 12 4 52 12.4]

This is a one row-by-6 column array of UTC values.

Example: [2000 1 12 4 52 12.4;2010 6 5 7 22 0]

This is an M-by-6 array of UTC values, where M is 2.

Data Types: double

Difference between International Atomic Time (IAT) and UTC, in seconds, for which the function calculates the direction cosine or transformation matrix. By default, the function assumes an M-by-1 array of zeroes.

  • scalar

    Specify one difference-time value to calculate one direction cosine or transformation matrix.

  • one-dimensional array

    Specify a one-dimensional array with M elements, where M is the number of direction cosine or transformation matrices to calculate. Each row corresponds to one set of UTC values.

Example: 32

Specify 32 seconds as the difference between IAT and UTC.

Data Types: double

Difference between UTC and Universal Time (UT1) in seconds, for which the function calculates the direction cosine or transformation matrix. By default, the function assumes an M-by-1 array of zeroes.

  • scalar

    Specify one difference-time value to calculate one direction cosine or transformation matrix.

  • one-dimensional array

    Specify a one-dimensional array with M elements of difference time values, where M is the number of direction cosine or transformation matrices to be calculated. Each row corresponds to one set of UTC values.

Example: 0.234

Specify 0.234 seconds as the difference between UTC and UT1.

Data Types: double

Polar displacement of the Earth, in radians, from the motion of the Earth crust, along the x- and y-axes. By default, the function assumes an M-by-2 array of zeroes.

  • 1-by-2 array

    Specify a 1-by-2 array of the polar displacement values to convert one direction cosine or transformation matrix.

  • M-by-2 array

    Specify an M-by-2 array of polar displacement values, where M is the number of direction cosine or transformation matrices to convert. Each row corresponds to one set of UTC values.

Example: [-0.0682e-5 0.1616e-5]

Data Types: double

Name-Value Arguments

Specify optional comma-separated pairs of Name,Value arguments. Name is the argument name and Value is the corresponding value. Name must appear inside quotes. You can specify several name and value pair arguments in any order as Name1,Value1,...,NameN,ValueN.

Example: [-0.2530e-6 -0.0188e-6]

Adjustment to the longitude (dDeltaPsi) and obliquity (dDeltaEpsilon), in radians, as the comma-separated pair consisting of dNutation and an M-by-2 array. Use this Name,Value pair with the IAU-76/FK5 reduction. By default, the function assumes an M-by-2 array of zeroes.

  • M-by-2 array

    Specify M-by-2 array of adjustment values, where M is the number of direction cosine or transformation matrices to be converted. Each row corresponds to one set of longitude and obliquity values.

Data Types: double

Adjustment to the location of the Celestial Intermediate Pole (CIP), in radians, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of dCIP and an M-by-2 array. This location (dDeltaX, dDeltaY) is along the x- and y- axes. Use this argument with the IAU-200/2006 reduction. By default, this function assumes an M-by-2 array of zeroes.

For historical values, see the International Earth Rotation and Reference Systems Service Web site (https://www.iers.org) and navigate to the Earth Orientation Data Data/Products page.

  • M-by-2 array

    Specify M-by-2 array of location adjustment values, where M is the number of direction cosine or transformation matrices to be converted. Each row corresponds to one set of dDeltaX and dDeltaY values.
