Trunked simulcast system stimulator

This paper discusses a traffic loader/performance monitor developed for the Motorola trunked simulcast system. It has the capability of fully loading systems sized up to 20 channels at 11 sites with mixed dispatch and interconnect calls. It does this without the need for any actual repeater equipment or mobile radios, in contrast to a real system which could involve up to 220 repeaters and about 3000 mobiles. Each simulated call is checked in real time for proper sequencing and histograms of critical time periods are generated.
