    This example shows how to verify the start times of the transmission and the receive window for a bistatc transmitter and receiver object, recpectively.

    Verify the Start Time of the Next Transmission

    Create a bistatic transmitter object with an initial time of 10 seconds and verify that the first transmission occurs at this time.

    tx = bistaticTransmitter(InitialTime=10);
t  = nextTime(tx)
    t = 
10

    Verify the Start Time of the Next Receive Window

    Create a bistatic receiver object with an initial time of 10 seconds. Verify that the start time for the next receive window is the initial time plus the receive window length.

    Rx = bistaticReceiver(InitialTime=10);
t  = nextTime(Rx)
    t = 
10.0001

    disp(Rx.InitialTime + Rx.WindowDuration)
       10.0001
