Free-Space Path Loss Calculator Proxim Wireless

Proxim Wireless

Free Space Loss is the transmission loss between two antennas, separated by a distance. Enter the operating frequency in MHz (2400 for 2.4 GHz, 5800 for 5.8 GHz, etc.) and the distance between the two antennas in miles. The final value represents a first order approximation and should only be used as a guide.

Fresnel Clearance Zone Calculator Proxim Wireless

Proxim Wireless

Unlike the popular view of a Line of Sight which a clear unobstructed clear straight line. Radio frequency line of sight is defined by Fresnel Zones which are ellipse shaped areas between any two radios. The primary Fresnel zone is required to be at least 60 percent clear of any obstruction to ensure the highest performance of wireless link. The radius of the Fresnel Zone at its widest point is calculated with the Fresnel Zone Calculator. The final value represents a first order approximation and should only be used as a guide. No guarantees or warranties are implied accordingly.

On board antennas 3D analysis and coverage parameters for radio communications systems. GTD is a very efficient computer tool for: the 3D analysis of antennas on board satellites, aircrafts and other complex bodies. The 3D analysis of coverage and channel parameters (impulse response, CDMA analysis, power delay profiles, etc.) in radio communications in urban, semi-urban environments and indoor communications. It can compute the levels of signal generate by one or several antennas placed inside or outside the building. The program's kernel is based on Geometrical Optics (GO), Physical Optics (PO) and Uniform Theory of Diffraction. A combination of the Angular Z-Buffer (AZB), the Volumetric Space Partitioning (SVP) and the A* heuristic algorithm is applied for the ray-racing acceleration. Also, provides functionalities to dynamic and parametric simulations. GTD can import geometries from many CAD tools such as: AutoCAD, Rhino, etc.
