This comprehensive 3-D ray tracing program models radio
wave propagation through the ionosphere. Developed from
ground up, the program takes advantage of recent Internet
technology. It can accept any 3-D ionospheric model or ionospheric
specification from the RTIC system. It provides the HF/VHF
propagation through the ionosphere, computing both ground-based
and satellite-borne nodes. The propagation modeler utilizes
full magneto-ionic properties of the ionosphere. The predicted
parameters include:
-
E and H field strengths
-
Ray paths
-
Optimum link parameters
Transmitters and receivers can work anywhere on or above
ground. This program can model antenna patterns and is
integrated with the RTIC.
