Wave Propagation Plugins for RNP Tools

DLLs for Radio Network Planning Tools

Introduction

 


Most commercial radio network planning tools offer a wide varety of features and tools for the planning of wireless networks. But very often the propagation models included in these tools are only basic models like Hata-Okumura or COST Walfisch-Ikegami. More sophisticated propagation models can only be used via an API. AWE Communications offers its popular prediction models with DLLs interfaces for 3rd party radio network planning tools.

Supported Radio Network Planning Tools


WinProp's urban propagation models as well as the indoor propagation models are available for several commercial radio network planning tools:

 

 

Handling and Integration

 


The indoor propagation models are connected via WinProp's unique CNP mode to the above mentioned planning tools while the urban models are directly connected to the API provided by the tools.

The handling of the data and the integration into the tools is very simple and a task of approx. 5 minutes.

Many customers already enhanced their radio network planning process by using WinProp's accurate and flexible propagation models instead of the classical models provided by the tool manufacturer.

Integration of the WinProp programs:

 

 

Fully integrated as DLL
All parameters of propagation models handled with GUI
Results (path loss) displayed with GUI
 

 

Still independent of DLL
Used for conversion of databases and for the modification of the geometry (material)
Preprocessing of building databases
 

 

Conversion of antenna patterns (2x2D pattern => WinProp 3D pattern) done in ProMan DLL
Can be used to visualize antenna patterns
