Setting Antenna as a Repeater in Network Simulation

Hi all,

I'm trying to set a Directional Antenna as a Repeater, and am trying to view the results in my network simulation. I have two directional antennas in a site, with one set to Repeater, Transparent Mode. The following is the results of the propagation:

Antenna A:

Antenna B:

imageThe network results:

Not sure if this is intended, but oddly enough if I add a second site the repeater seems to work

I'm using the repeater to model signal reflection, so I want to ask if it was possible to run the network simulation with just the 1 site with one gateway and one repeater, while having the repeater working? I've attached the project file if it helps.

 

Thanks.

Alvin

    Hi Alvin,

    thanks for your report!
    It seems you were running into some numerical problems because of the very small resolution of 0.01m.
    Please increase the resolution e.g. to 0.05m for which then it is working as expected:
