Simulate initial beatnote phases
Motivation: We might be able to deduce information about the pseudo-ranges from the ISI sideband beatnotes (maybe also from the ISI carrier beatnotes), if we have them given in phase. Currently, the beatnotes are simulated in frequency, so we need their initial phases to integrate them.
Procedure:
- simulate an initial phase for each laser
- simulate an initial phase for each clock (pilot tone) (confirm with @ohartwig if our understanding of the initial pilot tone phases is correct)
- go through the LISA simulation model equation by equation and write down how those initial phases propagate to the different optical benches (for which noises sources do we have to include initial phases on the way?)
- combine those propagated initial phases to form the initial phases of the beatnotes
