RadioWORKS 2.0.37.0

RadioWORKS 2.0.37.0 is designed to a tool which can help user with calculating a variety of items. By using this version of RadioWORKS, it would be much easier and effective when you work with items related to radio waves and radio wave propagation.

It helps you to get detailed information about a frequency, such as the free-space wavelength, band classification, propagation methods, common transmitter configurations, etc. Calculate antenna lengths or frequencies. View a 3D coverage map by providing a latitude / longitude coordinate and transmitter height. View a 2D representation of line of sight coverage between two latitude / longitude points, including compensation for TX/RX height, adjustment for Earth curvature, and first Fresnel zone calculation. Look up the elevation of a latitude / longitude coordinate. Calculate path loss using the Free-Space, ITU Terrain, Hata Urban, Hata Suburban, Hata Open Area, COST 231 Hata Extended, Weissberger, or Empirical COST-Walfisch-Ikegami (Also known as COST 231 Empirical) non Line-of-Sight (n-LoS) and Line-of-Sight (LoS) mathematical models -- OR -- run the models backwards to get the matching distance for a given path loss value. Use the Distance and Power change prediction calculator to predict how a proposed transmitter power change, whether an increase or a decrease, will affect your usable range -- OR -- how a proposed range requirement change, whether an increase or a decrease, will affect your transmitter power requirements, while factoring in the signal decay rate observed in your current system. All path loss & distance / power change prediction calculations can also be displayed graphically. Calculate the beamwidth, gain, and far-field distance of a dish antenna. Context-sensitive help is available to guide with the usage of the various features. Additionally, all mathematical formulas used by the application are on display, including explanations and usage information.

RadioWORKS is made available as FREEWARE. It contains no virii, adware, spyware, back doors, or trojans.

RadioWORKS is packaged as an MSI (Microsoft Installer) file for easy installation and removal.
