Pathloss 5 – Revision History Pathloss 5 – Revision Date March 10, 2009 Radio lookup tables can load version 4 microwave (mrd) and VHF-UHF (vrd) lookup files. CSV Link reports have been added.
They can be found under the Operations menu in the network display. The report can be customized by clicking the ‘Edit’ button and selecting CSV Link report from the dropdown list in the report settings window.
Open the worksheet, click the Report menu, select the menu full report. Pathloss 4.0 will fully show the software calculations (link budget calculation). Posts about Pathloss 4.0 Full Version written by anwar210686.
(More report settings are available in the tree list on the left.) Pathloss 5 – Revision Date February 24, 2009 Radio lookup tables This has been added as an option to using the radio code index. If a code exists in the table, the, lookup table functions the same as the radio code index. Loading pl4 files which contained Fresnel references became corrupted when saved as PL5 files. Interference calculations for base stations without associated links has been implemented.
Pathloss 5 – Revision Date February 12, 2009 Base station sector frequency assignments The TX channel table and frequency plan files are now used for frequency assignments. Point to multipoint design The base antenna height is not considered in the rejection criteria. Google Earth kml export General improvements to the overall display. Local and area studies are now exported as separate entities for each signal level. Metric conversion problems – (feet and miles only).
Error in transmission line unit loss in ptmp link design corrected. Error in tower heights corrected. The interim release of Pathloss version 5 is structured in the following options: PL5B – Basic program – point to point link design The basic program consists of the network display and the automated linking and design features for point to point radio links.
This includes the design sections for terrain data, antenna heights, diffraction, transmission analysis and reflections – multipath analysis. These features are common to all program options. PL5C – Point to multipoint design – local studies The point to multipoint design option adds multi-sectored base stations to the network display. These are used for the automatic PTMP linking and design features.
Additionally local coverage studies can be carried out centered on a base station using signal strength, fade margin or visibility as the display criteria. PL5I – Interference The interference option calculates the aggregate interfering level of all transmitters in a selected group. The subsequent receiver threshold degradation and increase in outage time is calculated for rain and multipath correlated fading. The analysis can be carried out for all radio types in point to point and point to multipoint networks taking into account the duplex arrangement on PTMP radios.
Interference through passive repeaters is included in the calculation. PL5T – Interference, point to multipoint design, local and area studies This option combines the point to multipoint – local studies and interference options and adds area study analysis.
In an area study, signals from a number of base stations are calculated into a common area. John Reese Rapidshare more. In addition to receive signal levels, an area study can display the most likely server, carrier to interference and simulcast delay.
