Radio Mobile Tutorial - Create Wireless Coverage Maps
Radio Mobile is a tool that is used to design and simulate wireless radiofrequency (20 MHz - 20 GHz) communication systems. It predicts the performance of a terrestrial radio link by calculating link budgets given station RF parameters, distance, terrain, and land cover. Propagation is calculated using the Longley-Rice model, also known as the irregular terrain model or ITM. This program could be used to compute coverage for an emergency service, Wi-Fi like wireless ISP, hypothetical radio station, amateur radio repeater, or just about anything else!
