Brief Description

A key factor in the deployment of radiomonitoring systems is the selection of the right sites. This applies equally to stationary, mobile and transportable systems. Operators require a reliable tool for calculating the coverage of the area of interest for their radiomonitoring systems.

The R&S^®Propagation Calculation Tool propagation calculation tool helps operators to rapidly and easily plan the sites for setting up their radiomonitoring systems. In addition to selecting the best installation sites for the direction finding and monitoring sensors, the tool supports the planning of the radiocommunications links required to network these systems.

Features & Benefits

Selection of optimum sites for radiomonitoring systems
- Graphical support for convenient definition of area of interest
- Easy import of known transmitters and radio networks
- Recalculation to verify site suitability
- Fast results when frequently changing the site of a radiomonitoring system
- Support in planning radio networks for monitoring systems
- Support in evaluating intercepted radio signals
Out-of-the-box solution
- Intuitive, menu-guided operation even for less experienced users
- Immediate deployment due to supplied elevation data
- Single-source solution: interfaces to other software products from Rohde & Schwarz
- Propagation models for every application
