RadioPlanner performs various types of area studies for mobile networks:
- Received Power uplink/downlink;
- Strongest Server (Best Server);
- C/I ratio;
- Area with Signal above Both the Base and Mobile Thresholds.
Area studies for terrestrial radio and television broadcast transmitters:
- Field Strength at the Receiver Location;
- Calculation of the population in the coverage area based on the OpenStreetMap project database;
- Generation of the list of localities covered by broadcasting.
All calculations are performed in accordance with the recommendation ITU-R P.1812-4 (07/2015) A path-specific propagation prediction method for point-to-area terrestrial services in the VHF and UHF bands.
RadioPlanner allows you to do:
- Frequency planning of radio networks considering co-channel and adjacent channels interference;
- Points calculation showing the profile of the path, losses, and levels of the signal and interference on co-channel and adjacent channels;
- Import the measurement results of the received signal power levels for comparison with calculated values and adjust propagation model parameters;
- Save the result of the coverage calculation as an interactive web page or as a raster image;
- Flexibly adjust the layers on the base map, show custom vector layers.
GIS features:
- SRTM-3 dataset is used as a digital terrain model. Data sources: USGS EarthExplorer site;
- Landcover model with the different types of clutter (dense urban, urban, suburban, open land, water, and trees/forest). Landcover model was created on the basis of OpenStreetMap (www.openstreetmap.org) и Global Forest Change (www.earthenginepartners.appspot.com) projects;
- Any kinds of basemaps—both common (such as OpenStreetMap, OpenTopoMap, etc.) and custom ones.
