RF Systems Menu Overview

In order to design any communication system, it is essential to specify the detailed parameters of the radio frequency or RF components that are used in that system. These component parameters need to include transmitter elevations and locations, radiated power levels, antenna types and pointing angles, among other things. For the receiver, it is necessary to specify the antenna height, antenna type, receiver filter, noise figure, and effective noise bandwidth. Digital system parameters can also be selected for those studies in the EDX software where these quantities are required.

For link systems, the RF system details of both the transmit end and receive ends of the link must be specified.

The purpose of the RF Systems menu is to give you access to the screens where all of this information is entered. For most studies, it is mandatory to set your RF system parameters before running any coverage, interference, or other system design study.
