Abstract

Propagation prediction software for wireless communications is developed based on efficient ray-tracing simulation. The software has a friendly graphical user interface (GUI) and provides calculations for propagation parameters including path loss, delay spread, and angles of arrival/departure. Users can upload AutoCAD files of indoor or outdoor environments and assign wall geometries and electrical parameters easily. User defined radiation patterns can also be incorporated in the simulation. The software provides colored graphs for the simulated results.
