I need a simulation software for Frequency Planning really need it

AI Thread Summary
For frequency planning in communication networks, users are seeking software recommendations, particularly for microwave link site planning in the 3 GHz to 300 GHz range. Key considerations include the type of modulation, number of base stations, and network coverage area, with PSK modulation suggested for initial setups. Celplanner and Mentum Planet are noted as effective but costly options, each around $50,000 per license, while EDX is mentioned as a comparable alternative. Users are cautioned about using frequencies above 11 GHz due to potential rain fade issues. Efficient tools are acknowledged despite their high costs.

Any suggestion or hints for any software that helps in Frequency Planning for Communication networks... please give links! thank you all.
 
Engineering news on Phys.org


What kind of planning are you doing? IM? Interference? Something else?
What is the frequency band for which you are planning?
What kind of modulation will the networks use?
How many base stations will you have and how many frequencies will you use between them?
Over how large an area will your network extend?
How much can you spend?

I am doing microwave link sites planning.
the frequency may be any frequency in the microwave band (3 GHz-300 GHz)
I think a modulation of PSK type will be appropriate.
the link is consisting of two base stations as a beginning.
and it extends to about 20 km.

Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...
While I was rolling out a shielded cable, a though came to my mind - what happens to the current flow in the cable if there came a short between the wire and the shield in both ends of the cable? For simplicity, lets assume a 1-wire copper wire wrapped in an aluminum shield. The wire and the shield has the same cross section area. There are insulating material between them, and in both ends there is a short between them. My first thought, the total resistance of the cable would be reduced...
I am not an electrical engineering student, but a lowly apprentice electrician. I learn both on the job and also take classes for my apprenticeship. I recently wired my first transformer and I understand that the neutral and ground are bonded together in the transformer or in the service. What I don't understand is, if the neutral is a current carrying conductor, which is then bonded to the ground conductor, why does current only flow back to its source and not on the ground path...
