| Description: Key Facts PropWiz is a program designed for PC or laptop/notebook computers. It requires Windows3.x/95/98/NT/2000 or WindowsXP. Why PropWiz saves a lot of time To determine the availability of a shortwave link, the following steps had to be performed up to now: Calculation of the field strength at the receiver by means of a MUF program Determination of the man-made noise, atmospheric noise and galactic noise at the receiver to ITU-R recommendations (depending on location, time of day and season of year) Calculation of the signal-to-noise ratio considering the bandwidth, the receiver noise and the RX antenna gain Comparison of the calculated signal-to-noise ratio with the signal-to-noise ratio required for the used modulation 24-fold repetition of steps 1 to 4 to get the availability in hours per day To obtain results for modified parameters, such as different antennas, adapted TX power, other month, etc, the complete calculations and evaluations had to be done again For different locations the complete calculations had to be done again To get an overview with necessary details, the calculated results had to be put into a graphical display The Propagation Wizard frees you from all these efforts and delivers the desired results in a very short time. The results are given in a graphical display to allow an overview with all the necessary details. The calculations can be quickly repeated as often as desired. Of course the results can be printed out to get a hardcopy. The outstanding features of the Propagation Wizard are: Extremely easy operation through selfexplanatory Windows user interface Online Windows help function Based on proven algorithm for MUF and field-strength calculation Consideration of all important link parameters Consideration of specific Rohde & Schwarz hardware (transceiver power classes, antennas, data modems) Characteristics of Rohde&Schwarz antennas taken into account: it is no longer necessary to enter values for antenna gain and elevation Generation of radiation patterns for user-specific antennas supported by included editor Calculation of the availability of a link for a pair of predefined signal-to-noise ratios in hours per day Graphical display of the usable frequency range versus time of day, which is very easy to interpret Link parameters can be saved for later recalculation Supports 800 × 600 pixels and 640 × 480 pixels screen resolution Rohde & Schwarz does not longer support the "Propagation Wizard PropWiz" software available for download free of charge. Software requirements: Windows3.x/95/98/NT/2000 or WindowsXP | |||
