Detailed Description

This structure stores the parameters for constructing a gravitational waveform with a Taylor-polynomial frequency and phase.

As with the PPNParamStruc type in GeneratePPNInspiral_h, we divide the fields into passed fields (which are supplied to the final PulsarCoherentGW structure but not used in any calculations), input fields (that are used by the waveform generator), and output fields (that are set by the waveform generator).
