Dresden,
Germany. --March 23, 2004-- Radioplan, a leading
supplier of radio wave propagation modeling software, today announced
that the latest version of their popular RF prediction software, RPS
5.2, has set a new processing benchmark for ray tracing radio wave
propagation modeling tools.By introducing
hybrid simulation modeling - the ability to process multiple radio wave
propagation algorithms for the same scenario in parallel - and a
massively improved processing capability using 2.5D modeling in a
parallel processing architecture, Radioplan’s RPS 5.2 boosts simulation
performance to a level never before seen in a ray tracing propagation
simulator.
Dietrich Hunold, Radioplan’s Technical Director said
“RPS 5.2 delivers a new degree of radio wave propagation prediction
performance and accuracy. Typically ray tracing programs take a long
time to achieve the desired accuracy. But by designing the software to
allow parallel processing, we’ve achieved an order of magnitude gain in
processing performance. Additionally, by incorporating many realistic
modeling features, and user control of the detail required, we have
allowed accuracy levels to be greatly improved”.
Radioplan’s RPS 5.2 simulates the interactions between
radio transmissions and the physical features of the real world. RF
field strength and coverage prediction maps generated by the simulator
show the effects of placing antennas in selected physical locations.
RPS 5.2 is a fully-featured radio propagation modeling
tool that allows radio field strength prediction and channel
determination in the micro- and mm-wavelengths (300 MHz to 300 GHz)
using built-in ray tracing and empirical prediction models. It is
particularly suitable for modeling complicated indoor (in-site)
environments, and has been used to great effect in recent projects in
Asia and Europe.
Additional new features of RPS 5.2 include:
