/** Class modifying theoretical angular measurement with tropospheric delay.
 * The effect of tropospheric correction on the angular is computed
 * through the computation of the tropospheric delay.The spacecraft state
 * is shifted by the computed delay time and elevation and azimuth are computed
 * again with the new spacecraft state.
 *
 * In general, for GNSS, VLBI, ... there is hardly any frequency dependence in the delay.
 * For SLR techniques however, the frequency dependence is sensitive.
