Remcom’s new version of Wireless InSite® 3D Wireless Prediction Software introduces advanced capabilities, including time-based mobility, lunar propagation modeling and wideband ray tracing with S-parameter outputs. The new release (Release 4.0) supports dynamic and complex RF environment simulation, including on-body propagation and NASA Artemis missions.
Wireless InSite 4.0 leverages a robust mobility framework that accurately models the movement of transceivers and objects within a user-defined scene. Mobile platforms now enable precise evaluation of dynamic scenarios where mounted antennas on scatterers like vehicles and humans affect channel conditions. Time-based outputs, rendered as plots or animations, provide detailed insights into multipath and fading, received power, SINR and data throughput across time as RF systems and vehicle platforms move through a scene.
To support NASA’s Artemis mission, Wireless InSite ensures accurate simulation of RF propagation on the Moon by providing the ability to import Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) Lunar Orbiter Laser Altimeter (LOLA) terrain datasets and transform the coordinates of RF mobile systems upon the lunar terrain, while also incorporating a lunar materials database. By capturing the reflection and refraction characteristics inherent to the Moon’s landscape, these capabilities are essential for future lunar missions.
Utilizing full-wave Huygens antennas, Wireless InSite also leverages data generated by Remcom’s XFdtd® full-wave 3D electromagnetic solver to capture interactions with people, vehicles and structures in the near-field of the antenna. The transfer to Wireless InSite preserves the precise physical relationship between the antenna, geometry, materials and near-field data. Additionally, support for refraction into volumetric materials further refines the simulation of complex electromagnetic interactions with the body or nearby structures for technologies such as 6G, GNSS, WLAN, lunar missions and on-body communication while in motion.
