Altair WinProp 2022.2 Documentation
  • Release Notes

    See what's new in the latest release.

  • Get Started

    The WinProp Getting Started Guide contains step-by-step instructions on how to get started with WinProp.

  • Examples

    The Altair installation directory contains a collection of examples that shows you WinProp concepts and essentials.

  • Introduction to WinProp

    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.

  • Typical Workflow in WinProp

    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.

  • WallMan

    The WallMan component offers a convenient facility to generate and edit vector building databases.

  • TuMan

    The TuMan tool enables you to generate and modify tunnel scenarios.

  • AMan

    Use AMan to generate, edit and analyze a single antenna. Superimpose multiple antennas radiating similar signals to determine the actual antenna pattern while taking into consideration the local environment.

    • Introduction

      Radio network planning tools rely on accurate wave propagation models to predict the path loss between two arbitrary points.

    • Multiple Antenna Scenario Configuration (MASC)
    • Using AMan

      • Overview
      • 2D Antenna Patterns

        • Types of Antenna Patterns
        • Horizontal Antenna Patterns
        • Vertical Antenna Patterns
        • Display Settings of Antenna Patterns
        • Creating a New Antenna Pattern From a Scanned Data Sheet

          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.

        • Graphical Input of a New 2D Antenna Pattern
        • Table Based Input of a New 2D Antenna Pattern
        • Edit and Modify Points in 2D Antenna Patterns
        • Edit and Modify 2D Antenna Patterns

      • 2x2D Antenna Patterns

      • 3D Antenna Patterns

      • MASC Module

        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.

      • File Formats

        2D patterns (horizontal or vertical) and 3D patterns can be described using ASCII file formats.

  • ProMan

    The ProMan component includes wave propagation models for different scenarios and network planning simulators for various air interfaces.

  • Methods

    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).

  • Main Applications

    In WinProp various air interfaces and applications are pre-defined: broadcasting, cellular, wireless access, WiFi, sensor networks, ICNIRP and EM compliance.

  • Optimization (OptMan)

    The OptMan component allows the automatic optimization of orientations of antennas in cellular networks to achieve various targets.

  • Connectivity Manager (CoMan)

    The CoMan component allows the simulation of the reliability and connectivity in wireless mesh / sensor networks.

  • WinProp Utilities

    The WinProp utilities consist of the Launcher utility and the Updater.

  • Appendix

    Reference information is provided in the appendix.
