How to use array tool in Aman to generate an antenna pattern with measurement gains of an element
Dear, I have measured gains of all my 16 single elements of my antenna array, where I'd like to use it as the pattern of a directional antenna in ProMan. Here's my thought. My data is in a .csv file, which is not quite able to be converted in to an .ffe file (if there's a way please ignite me), but I managed to convert it…

How to Generate 3D Antenna Patterns from Bitmaps of Vertical and Horizontal Patterns Using WinProp
Having access to full antenna models, or 3D pattern files, is sometimes challenging when performing radio wave propagation simulations. In some cases, we only have access to the datasheet of a given antenna. Using AMan, the antenna manger tool in Altair's WinProp, one can import the bitmap image of a horizontal and…

How to simulate for a series of antenna.azimuth angles in api
Hello, I was trying to simulate with the api of WinPro. When it comes to define the antenna, I wonder if there is a way to input a vector so that multiple angles can be simulated at once. I noticed the variable WinPropAntenna.Azimuth is defined as a double and there's no exmple of it being a vector in the handbook. Thanks…

Import GPS coordinate of Open street map and vehicles trajectery
I need to import the open street map and vehicles trajectery I import the open street map according to the GPS coordinate, and transfer to UTM coordinate zone Nr. 32 I use the import tajectery function to import the movement of Vehicles. However, the data is GPS coordinate, but the Wallman only recognize the UTM…

Can the beams of an antenna at a fixed position be modified during time variant simulation in Winprop?
Hi, I'm trying to do a time variant simulation in WinProp but I only found an example of moving the antenna through a trajactory. I think it's more practical that the antanna site is at a fixed position while the pattern is changing, or rotating. I wonder if there is a method to do so in Proman? Or actually Aman? I also…
