Note that a lookup table includes a field for the data file name. This results in the simplicity of a lookup table with the complete analytic capability of the data files. If a data file name is included in the lookup table, then that file must be also included in the file index. Transferring a lookup table which includes data file names will result in errors messages stating that the data file cannot be found. This can be corrected by obtaining the data file and adding it to the file index. The error can be removed (but not corrected) by erasing the data file name from the lookup table.
The equipmnt directory in the Pathloss 5 program directory contains the currently available radio and antenna data files in the sub directories RSD (Radio Spec Data) and ASD (Antenna Spec Data). In order to use these files, they must first be added to the file index.
An antenna data file includes the basic specifications (gain, beam width, diameter) and a set of radiation patterns. A separate file is used for each antenna model. The antenna data file index provides a method of managing these files on the users computer. This is accomplished by assigning unique names for each antenna data file. If effect, the antenna file name less the suffix is a key field. In this scheme, the file names are always lower case. This means that antenna data files with the same name but located in different directories cannot be used. The maximum antenna file name length not including the suffix is 47 characters.
In order to use an antenna data file in the Pathloss program, it must first be converted to a binary format and then entered into the antenna index. The binary conversion is carried out in AntRad. Refer to the documentation for this program for details.
Pathloss 4 used different binary file formats for microwave and VHF-UHF antennas with the suffixes MAS and VAS, respectively. Pathloss 5 and 6 use a singe file format for all type of antennas with the suffix ASD. There is no need to convert the Version 4 files. These can be used as they are, along with the Pathloss 5/6 file format.
The list of antennas can be filtered by the manufacturer, frequency range and technology. Enter values for any of these fields in the Filter Index group box on the tool bar and click the Apply button.
Note that the filter settings are saved and when the Antenna index is opened again, the list may be in a filtered state. If new antennas are added to the index which are not within the filter ranges, then they will be added but not displayed. This gives the impression that the import has failed for some reason. Before carrying out an import click Clear in the Filter Index box.
In addition to the filter, the antenna list can be searched for a specific manufacturer, code or model. Select the search criteria in the Find in drop-down list and enter the value. The search is incremental and will change as each character is entered.
Pathloss 4 used separate lookup tables for microwave and VHF-UHF antennas with the file suffixes MAT and VAT, respectively. Version 5 and 6 use a single file for all antenna types with the suffix ANT. All Pathloss 4 antenna lookup table files can be read.
Lookup table data can be read from the Antenna Data File Index. Open the Lookup Table from within the Transmission Analysis module by clicking the Antenna Icon and then the Antenna Data Lookup Table icon. Select Operations - File Index. Multiselect the required antenna models in the antenna index and click the Add (+) button. Note: This function is only available when accessing the index from within the Lookup Table.
If an antenna lookup table item contains an antenna data file name and this file is not in the index, then an error message results each time that item is used. If the file is not available, erase the antenna data file field.
A separate file is used for each radio model. The radio data file index provides a method of managing these files on the users computer. This is accomplished by assigning unique names for each radio data file. If effect, the radio file name less the suffix is a key field. This means that radio data files with the same name but located in different directories cannot be used. The maximum radio file name length not including the suffix is 47 characters.
There is no industry standard for radio data files. Pathloss 4 used an ASCII and binary file format for microwave applications only with the file suffixes RAF and MRS. These files can be used directly in Pathloss 5/6 without any changes. The Pathloss 5/6 radio data files supports adaptive modulation and land mobile in addition to microwave applications. The files are created (ASCII and binary) in AntRad. Refer to the documentation for this program for details.
In order to use a radio data file in the Pathloss program, it must first be converted to a binary format and then entered into the radio index. Initially, the radio index will be empty. The procedure to add radio files to the index is given below.
Note that the filter settings are saved and when the radio index is opened again, the list may be in a filtered state. If new radios are added to the index which are not within the filter ranges, then these will be added but not displayed. This gives the impression that the import has failed for some reason. Before carrying out an import, clear the filter settings. Erase the Manufacturer, Frequency Lo and Hi fields and set the Technology to All types. Then click the Apply button.
In addition to the filter, the radio list can be searched for a specific manufacturer, file name or model. Select the search criteria in the Find in drop-down list and enter the value. The search is incremental and will change as each character is entered.
The radio index is used to add radio data into the various data entry forms throughout the program. The add buttons shown are for a link. The +1 and +2 buttons add the selected radio into site 1 and site 2, respectively. The +12 button adds the radio into both sites.
If the radio data file is a an adaptive modulation application then further options will be presented as shown on the left. The options depend on the selected method ANSI (American National Standards Institute) or ETSI (European Telecommunications Standards Institute)
In the ETSI method only, the user selects the desired modulation states and specifies the reference state. This is the modulation state which will be used in interference calculations. In any of the automatic design operations which involve optimization, the reference state will determine the optimization.
Note that the transmit power options, include an ATPC specification for each modulation level. In the ANSI method this would only be applicable to the top modulation. In the ETSI case, the ATPC would be applicable to the top modulation which has been checked.
In microwave and land mobile applications, options are presented if the radio data file includes transmit power options or receiver threshold options, the user must select / set the following parameters to be used in the calculation:
Lookup table data can be read from the radio data file index. Select the Operations - Radio file index menu item. Multiselect the required radio models in the radio index, and click the Add (+) button.
If an radio lookup table item contains a radio data file name and this file is not in the index, then an error message results each time that item is used. If the file is not available, erase the radio data file field.
The values in the loss column are calculated on entry using the design frequency. A blank loss means that the frequency is outside the frequency range. If the frequency in the Loss shown for frequency edit control is changed, the loss values will be recalculated; however, the design frequency is not changed.
The transmission index is used on for data entry throughout the program. The add buttons shown are for a radio link. The +1 and +2 buttons add the selected transmission line into site 1 and site 2, respectively. The +12 button adds the transmission line into both sites.
Click the Add button to add a new transmission line to the table. This form is suitable for adding a small number of transmission lines. The Import feature will add new transmission lines from a CSV files.
Click the Import (meters) button if the unit loss is in dB/100m or the Import (feet) button if the unit loss is in dB/100ft. Open the CSV file to import the data. The import procedure checks the existing data for duplicates. An entry is considered to be a duplicate if the manufacturer and model number are the same. Duplicate entries are not added; and therefore, this import cannot be used to edit existing data. If the new transmission line data does not appear at the bottom or the list, then check if the data is filtered using the Frequency in range or Technology field.
Your 6/1/16 file sets seem to be missing the top modulations for the FCC and ETSI 11 GHz 820C "Wide" configuration. I am only seeing QPSK through 512QAM files while a recent datasheet indicates that 1024QAM strong and weak modes should also be supported. Can you provide any missing modulations?
The top modulation mode for each bandwidth is only available in adaptive mode and the engineering files we provide for PathLoss are for fixed mode operation, which is why you don't see the highest mode. The 80 MHz bandwidth supports up to 1024 QAM (Profile 8) in adaptive mode and 512 QAM (Profile 7) in fixed mode, as shown in the Radio Scripts table in the Release Notes.
The following table lists the keywords that are required to be present in allreference files. The first column gives the FITS keyword names.The second column gives the jwst data model name for each keyword, which isuseful when using data models in creating and populating a new reference file.The third column gives the equivalent meta tag in ASDF reference file headers,which is the same as the name within the data model meta tree (second column).
In addition to the standard reference file keywords listed above,the following keywords are required in PATHLOSS reference files,because they are used as CRDS selectors(see Reference Selection Keywords for PATHLOSS):
