Altair WinProp 2021.2 Documentation
  • Release Notes

    See what's new in the latest release.

  • Get Started

    The WinProp Getting Started Guide contains step-by-step instructions on how to get started with WinProp.

  • Examples

    The Altair installation directory contains a collection of examples that shows you WinProp concepts and essentials.

  • Introduction to WinProp

    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.

  • Typical Workflow in WinProp

    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.

  • WallMan

    The WallMan component offers a convenient facility to generate and edit vector building databases.

  • TuMan

    The TuMan tool enables you to generate and modify tunnel scenarios.

  • AMan

    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.

  • ProMan

    The ProMan component includes wave propagation models for different scenarios and network planning simulators for various air interfaces.

    • Introduction to Propagation Manager (ProMan)

      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).

          • Propagation Models
          • Working with Urban Projects
        • Indoor

          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

      • Calibration of Models

        WinProp allows the automatic calibration of nearly all available propagation models based on measurement data.

      • Inclusion of the Receiving Antenna

        Specify the receiver antenna pattern for a mobile station.

    • Network and Base Station Planning Projects
    • MIMO Analysis Through Post-Processing

    • Results
    • Addenda
  • Methods

    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).

  • Main Applications

    In WinProp various air interfaces and applications are pre-defined: broadcasting, cellular, wireless access, WiFi, sensor networks, ICNIRP and EM compliance.

  • Optimization (OptMan)

    The OptMan component allows the automatic optimization of orientations of antennas in cellular networks to achieve various targets.

  • Connectivity Manager (CoMan)

    The CoMan component allows the simulation of the reliability and connectivity in wireless mesh / sensor networks.

  • WinProp Utilities

    The WinProp utilities consist of the Launcher utility and the Updater.

  • Appendix

    Reference information is provided in the appendix.
