  • Patent number: 11470534
    Abstract: The disclosed technology provides a system and method for evaluating candidate wireless sites within path search rings around centerpoints or new potential sites based on a portfolio of centerpoints, a portfolio of candidate sites, a variable radius of the path search rings, and a variable number of target candidates or paths sought within each path search ring, where the system and method computes radio path properties between the centerpoints and candidate sites and visually depicts bounding rings around centerpoints based on whether the target number of viable candidates or paths exist within the path search ring.

  • Patent number: 10397798
    Abstract: A radio signal path design tool that provides for a visual depiction of the viability of alternative antenna locations around proposed fixed antenna sites. The design tool computes a radio link path profile at the proposed antenna sites while simultaneously displaying alternative locations around the fixed antenna sites that would potentially achieve the radio link design goals. In some embodiments, the alternative antenna locations are represented as an array of points, arranged in a grid pattern, surrounding the proposed antenna sites. The path design tool may change each displayed point so that the point visually reflects the extent to which the corresponding location satisfies the radio link design goals. By providing a robust visualization, the design tool allows for a ready assessment of alternative radio link paths adjacent to the proposed link path, which allows for flexibility in deploying radio antennas.

  • Patent number: 10393853
    Abstract: A radio signal path design tool that allows radio link propagation path profiling or path-loss measurement where the link partner antenna towers are located in a proposed fixed location on the earth's surface, but are extendable a certain distance in any direction from the fixed location. The design tool can be used to compute a radio link path profile at the proposed tower location, while still correctly representing terrain variations in a variable path extension distance on either side of the radio link. To correctly represent terrain variations across the depicted portion of the earth's surface, the tool computes and applies a modified earth-bulge factor or k-factor. The variable extension distance on either side of the radio link allows for latitudinal and/or longitudinal variations in antenna tower placement, greatly facilitating the identification of appropriate positions of antenna towers during the wireless link design phase.
