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 workflow for a typical indoor propagation simulation is to use WallMan to create the geometry, Feko or AMan to produce the antenna pattern and ProMan to simulate the model and view the results.
The workflow for a typical urban propagation simulation is to use WallMan to create the geometry, Feko or AMan to produce the antenna pattern and ProMan to simulate the model and view the results.
The workflow for a combined urban and indoor propagation simulation is to import the geometry and save it in WallMan, use Feko or AMan to produce the antenna pattern and ProMan to simulate the model and view the results.
The workflow for a typical rural or suburban simulation is to import the terrain profile into ProMan, AMan to produce the antenna pattern and ProMan to simulate the model and view the results.
The workflow for a typical propagation simulation in a tunnel is to use TuMan to create the tunnel geometries, use Feko or AMan to produce the antenna pattern and use ProMan to simulate the model and view the results.
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.
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.

In a time-variant scenario, objects or groups of objects are moving as a function of
time. This time variance is specified in WallMan.
The type of database is typically an indoor database since it allows more freedom in
geometrical complexity, even if the geometry that is being modeled is outdoors, such as
the intersection with cars, see Figure 2.
When the transmitting antenna is specified in ProMan, it can
either be stationary or be defined as moving with a particular moving object (of which the
movement had been defined in WallMan).
The rest of the workflow is similar to the regular propagation simulations. You can specify
the time samples of interest from the menu Project > Edit Project Parameter > Simulation tab.
