Características
• For plotting RF patterns
• For predicting the performance of radio systems
• Using freely available terrain elevation data it can produce grey
scale, x-ray and rainbow colored virtual maps.
• It can also produce 3-D and stereoscopic views as well as flyby
animations.
• Background images can be merged with scanned maps, satellite
photos and Mapquest maps to produce accurate prediction plots.

Instalación
• Step 7
™Insure that no other instances of Rmwdlx32.dll exists on your system. If you want to
put the program at more than one location, you should put Rmwdlx32.dll (and other
dlls) in c:\Windows\system32.
™To get UTM coordinates in MGRS format instead of amateur radio QRA extract
File utm.zip in the program directory.
™To get a World Map with SRTM continent definition, extract File wmap.zip in the
program directory.
™By reading and editing the file Map_Link.txt with Notepad, the program can access
various map layers for personal use only.

Información de elevación (automáticamente)
• The easiest way to obtain elevation data for Radio Mobile is to let the software download
the data as needed.
• By default Radio Mobile will download elevation data if it is not found in your local
path. You should change this setting.
™To do so click on the Options
p
menu and select "Internet.”
™You will want to click on each element of the list and make sure that "Download from Internet
if a file is not found on local path and keep a local copy" is selected on each page (SRTM,
Toporama, Terraserver, LANDSAT)
•By setting this option, Radio
Mobile will save any elevation
data you download to a folder
which will speed up rendering of
plots in the future.
• The local files path can be set to
any folder on your computer or a
network drive if you wish to share
the downloaded data with other
users on your local network.

• GTOPO30 (Global Topographic Data)
™GTOPO30 is a global digital elevation model (DEM) resulting from a
collaborative effort led by the staff at the U.S. Geological Survey's EROS
Data Center in Sioux Falls,
Falls South Dakota
Dakota.
¾Elevations in GTOPO30 are regularly spaced at 30-arc seconds (approximately
1 kilometer).
¾It has been available from the EROS Data Center beginning in 1993.
™GTOPO30 was developed to meet the needs of the geospatial data user
community for regional and continental scale topographic data.

• DTED (Digital Terrain Elevation Data)
™Originally developed in the 1970s to support aircraft radar simulation and prediction.
™DTED is not used as often now that higher resolution SRTM data is available.
¾ Level 0 has a post spacing of 30 arcseconds in latitude direction (ca. 900 meters)
¾ Level 1 has a post spacing of 3 arcseconds (ca. 90 meters)
¾ Level 2 has a post spacing of 1 arcseconds (ca
(ca. 30 meters)
9 Level 1 and 2 are "Not releasable outside DoD unless specifically authorized "
™To download DTED data visit:
¾ http://geoengine.nga.mil/muse-cgi-bin/rast_roam.cgi
¾ Enter your latitude and longitude into the appropriate boxes and select DTED Level 0
from the "Available Product Levels:" dropdown box.
¾ Then click on the "Raster Roam" button and a map will be generated.
9 If the map that appears to the left is not what you want you can adjust:
‰ The image size
‰ Zoom factor
‰ Scroll the map
‰ Click on the image to change center
¾ Click on the button labeled "Raster Exporter“ at the very bottom of the page and the
server will create a file for you to download that contains the data you selected.
¾ Please remember to click the "Delete" button at the bottom of the page after you have
downloaded your data.

Información de elevación (manualmente)
• WGS
™The World Geodetic System (WGS) is used to set the horizontal position of a unit. In the
program, Latitude ranges from 90° South to 90° North, and Longitude ranges from 180° West
to 180° east.
• UTM
™Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) divides earth into 60 zones of 6 degrees of longitude.
The Northing is the distance from the equator (m) while the Easting is the distance from the
central longitude of the zone (m), added with 500 000.
• MGRS
™The Military Grid Reference System (MGRS) is derived from the UTM system of coordinates.

Configuración de los datos descargados
• First click on the "Options" menu and then select "Elevation
Data."
• Click on the radio button next to "Extract elevation data directly
from database” +
•You have the option to point
Radio Mobile to the location
of the data you extracted
from the zipfiles and tarballs
previously.

21
Configuración de los datos descargados
• Radio Mobile allows you to use up to five layers of elevation data
ranked from highest to lowest quality.
™This is also where you can configure Radio Mobile to use shared elevation
data over a network.
• Select the type of elevation data you want to use for each layer
then click on the "Browse" button.
™Browse to the location of the data and when you are finished click on "OK.“
™For example, you may want to use GTOPO30 as your top layer and DTED
as your second layer.

• If you uncheck "ignore missing files" and have SRTM set as one
of your data sources, Radio Mobile will tell you which SRTM data
files are missing so you download the missing pieces.
™There are some holes in the SRTM coverage so there is a chance you will
not be able to download the missing files.
™If this is the case check "ignore missing files" after you have filled in as
many missing pieces as possible.

• SRTM data is by far the most popular data set that Radio Mobile can use.
™The Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) obtained elevation data on a near-global scale to
generate the most complete high-resolution digital topographic database of Earth.
™SRTM consisted of a specially modified radar system that flew onboard the Space Shuttle
Endeavour during an 11-day mission in February of 2000.
™http://www2.jpl.nasa.gov/srtm/
™ftp://e0srp01u.ecs.nasa.gov/srtm/
™http://srtm.csi.cgiar.org/
• SRTM data is available in 2 qualities:
™3 arcsecond data 90 x 90 meters, Global
only
y
™1 arcsecond data 30 x 30 meter,, USA only.
™Comments:
¾ The 3 arcsecond data is public to the world as wel as the USA 1 arcescond data is.
¾ The 1 arcsecond data outside of the USA is not public available.
¾ This is no problem for general RF propagation calculations.
¾ More detailed information is required when you want to do RF analysis in Urban areas.
9 This is required for example by cellular network operators.

™SRTM data is obtained from scanning the earth surface with a radar.
¾ This radar does not have a very high resolution so we cannot see houses in the data, but we can see

• If you have a fast machine, you can use 'Extract elevation data
directly from database', but do a 'Performance test' first before
setting the Max No. of records to use. (The height data requires to be
uncompressed to use this feature).
• With 'Extract Elevation Data directly from the Database', the
calculations use spherical (Great Circle) geometry. In this case the
reported distance is between the antennas, so it will vary with
antenna height.
™This mode should be used in Microwave studies.

Resumen
• A radio station is referred to as a Unit, there can be numerous Units
defined to operate within a given Network.
• Each different type of Unit used in a network has to be defined with
a separate Radio Operating System specification, this sets up the
radio parameters for that type of station
™Transmit Power/receiver sensitivity/antenna gain/antenna height/cable losses.
• Thus each Unit will be allocated to an operating system specification
within the network.
™Finally, all units are given a Role, which is either Command or Subordinate.
