Description
RF Path provides propagation loss calculations for radio frequencies (RF) between 20 MHz and 20 GHz using the Longely-Rice model. The calculations are based on both electromagnetic theory and the statistical analysis of terrain characteristics to calculate the degradation of the RF wave as a function of distance and the variability of the RF wave with respect to time and space.
- Path model includes entering EIRP and receive system sensitivity to determine overall RSSI.
- Detailed information for each point in the propagation path
- Rain region affects (ITU and Crane rain fade models)
- Decimal latitude/longitude, Degrees/Minutes/Seconds (DMS), Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM), Military Grid Reference System (MGRS) coordinate systems
- Map search by address, location name, or coordinates (Lat/Lon, DMS, UTM, MGRS).
- Ability to edit site locations
- Display of calculated propagation noise floor
- Bit Error Rate (BER) threshold selection
- Modulation selection
What’s New
Version 3.51
- This version added three propagation models
- Okumura-Hata
- COST-231 Hata Extension
- COST-231 Walfish-Ikegami.
- The option to display maximum range rings around the transmitter and receiver site locations were added.
- Bug fixes
Ratings and Reviews
Great Propagation Estimation Tool
I have worked with RF systems for more than 20 years. It’s great to have an app I can use to make propagation calculations that not only takes into account the terrain between the transmitter and receiver but also allows me to set the ground parameters based on the area of the world I am working. Only 4 stars because the results graph is sometimes too busy.
Provides the propagation loss calculation I need
The app provides the RF path loss for me to enter into my analysis between a transmitter and receiver. I especially like the fact that the propagation calculations take into account near earth effects since I work with systems that are placed on the ground. It’s also great that the loss calculations are not based on free space loss. It would be nice to be able to save the coordinates for different paths that I work.
Great except area notes
Everything on point to point is great and straightforward. I can’t get the area model to work even after selecting help and some of helps instructions make no sense as the input is not available. I think something is wrong.
