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…

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…

Altair WinProp: What are the wave propagation models supported for urban scenarios?
This article provides a summary of the wave propagation models supported in WinProp for urban scenarios. An urban scenario is typically a built-up area, which could be a whole city, but also a suburban or residential part, a campus, factory, or similar environments. Each building or vegetation object is described by a…

How to get the correct bistatic RCS file to import Winprop
Hi all, When using winprop to test RIS boost to indoor wifi signal, I need to import the bistatic RCS file into winprop. I built the RIS on the XOZ surface in FEKO according to the angle relationship in the winprop manual (Fig. 1), but the results obtained (Fig. 3) did not agree with the theoretical values; So I used the…

Bistatic RCS of RIS
Hi all I built a RIS with 0 ° incidence and 45 ° exit. I need to get his bistatic RCS file. However, when I did the calculations in FEKO, the results I got were different from the theoretical results. As can be seen from Figure 1, there is a strong RCS at 0°, which is far from the theory. Is there anything I need to set up…
