The WinProp Getting Started Guide contains step-by-step instructions on how to get started with WinProp.
The Altair installation directory contains a collection of examples that shows you WinProp concepts and essentials.
WinProp is a complete suite of tools in the domain of wireless propagation and radio network planning. With applications ranging from satellite to terrestrial, from rural via urban to indoor radio links, WinProp’s innovative wave propagation models combine accuracy with short computation time.
View the typical workflows when working with propagation simulations in specific scenarios, how to add a network planning to a propagation simulation, include a receiver pattern, set up a time-variant scenario, include multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) at both the base station and the mobile station, connectivity analysis of sensor networks and optimization.
The WallMan component offers a convenient facility to generate and edit vector building databases.
The TuMan tool enables you to generate and modify tunnel scenarios.
Radio network planning tools rely on accurate wave propagation models to predict the path loss between two arbitrary points.
Scan the graphical representation of a measured radiation pattern (for example, pattern given in a datasheet) to .bmp format to create a new antenna pattern.
MASC (multiple antenna scenario configuration) module allows for realistic antenna patterns to be generated using superpositioning of multiple antenna that radiates the same signal. The module also considers the local environment (for example, masts, arms, walls, tubes, and sub-arms) in the solution.
2D patterns (horizontal or vertical) and 3D patterns can be described using ASCII file formats.
View the default shortcut keys available for AMan for faster and easier operation.
The ProMan component includes wave propagation models for different scenarios and network planning simulators for various air interfaces.
WinProp includes empirical and semi-empirical models (calibration with measurements possible), rigorous 3D ray-tracing models as well as the unique dominant path model (DPM).
In WinProp various air interfaces and applications are pre-defined: broadcasting, cellular, wireless access, WiFi, sensor networks, ICNIRP and EM compliance.
The WinProp utilities consist of the Launcher utility and the Updater.
