The WinProp Getting Started Guide contains step-by-step instructions on how to get started with WinProp.
The Altair installation directory contains a collection of examples that shows you WinProp concepts and essentials.
WinProp is a complete suite of tools in the domain of wireless propagation and radio network planning. With applications ranging from satellite to terrestrial, from rural via urban to indoor radio links, WinProp’s innovative wave propagation models combine accuracy with short computation time.
View the typical workflows when working with propagation simulations in specific scenarios, how to add a network planning to a propagation simulation, include a receiver pattern, set up a time-variant scenario, include multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) at both the base station and the mobile station, connectivity analysis of sensor networks and optimization.
The WallMan component offers a convenient facility to generate and edit vector building databases.
The TuMan tool enables you to generate and modify tunnel scenarios.
Use AMan to generate, edit and analyze a single antenna. Superimpose multiple antennas radiating similar signals to determine the actual antenna pattern while taking into consideration the local environment.
The ProMan component includes wave propagation models for different scenarios and network planning simulators for various air interfaces.
Predict path loss between transmitter and receiver with ProMan. Perform network planning including the wireless standards (the air interfaces) and including multiple transmitters/receivers (multiple base stations).

Different wave propagation models (computational methods) exist to simulate the propagation environment. These models are necessary to determine propagation characteristics for any arbitrary configuration.
The phenomena which influence radio wave propagation can generally be described by four basic mechanisms: Reflection, diffraction, penetration and scattering. For the practical usage of propagation models in real scenarios these mechanisms must be described by approximations.
Time-variant projects are based on time-variant vector databases or are based on regular (stationary) databases in which trajectories are defined in ProMan.
A transmitter can move along a defined trajectory (optional), without the need to connect it to a moving object.
The simulation can be configured by specifying the area of planning, the resolution of prediction results, prediction height and whether additional prediction planes are defined in the database.
Specify the time steps in a time variant simulation.
ProMan allows also the assignment of time-variant behavior to an antenna. The antenna moves in the same way as the object group does to which the antenna is assigned, or moves as specified along the trajectory to which it is assigned. The trajectory can be edited at this stage.
ProMan allows the visualization of the results for different time stamps.
Ray-optical simulations in WinProp can be accelerated if selected objects are replaced by scattering information that was imported from Feko.
WinProp allows the automatic calibration of nearly all available propagation models based on measurement data.
Specify the receiver antenna pattern for a mobile station.
WinProp includes empirical and semi-empirical models (calibration with measurements possible), rigorous 3D ray-tracing models as well as the unique dominant path model (DPM).
In WinProp various air interfaces and applications are pre-defined: broadcasting, cellular, wireless access, WiFi, sensor networks, ICNIRP and EM compliance.
The OptMan component allows the automatic optimization of orientations of antennas in cellular networks to achieve various targets.
The CoMan component allows the simulation of the reliability and connectivity in wireless mesh / sensor networks.
The WinProp utilities consist of the Launcher utility and the Updater.
