Overview

Wireless InSite® Release 2.4 offers many enhancements, including a Communication System Analysis module, improved analysis of wideband signal propagation, modeling of atmospheric ducting effects and plane wave sources for modeling airborne and satellite based transmitters. Another new feature is the recently announced Real Time Module for obtaining very fast physics-based path loss predictions for communication links in urban environments.

Wireless InSite allows RF communications engineers to accurately analyze the impact of the physical environment on the performance of wireless communication systems. The software provides a broad range of site-specific predictions of propagation and communication channel characteristics in complex urban, indoor, rural and mixed path environments. Most of these results are derived from accurate solutions to the underlying EM wave propagation problem determined by the UTD (Uniform Theory of Diffraction) and FDTD (Finite Difference Time Domain) methods.
