Growth ahead for Radioplan
Radioplan reckons 2005 will be a year of significant growth, involving new customers, new headquarters and new offices in a number of markets worldwide
Radioplan, the German RF simulation and automatic optimisation specialist, has announced that a new student edition of its Radiowave Propagation Simulator (RPS) will be made available for download, free of charge, from its website. Radioplan's RPS Student is a fully-functional version of RPS, allowing students free access to study RF propagation in small radio environments using the full set of tools available to the professional user.
RPS can be used to generate simulations of small indoor and outdoor radio environments such as WLAN, WIMAX, Mesh, UMTS, and CMDA2000, allowing users to investigate the effects of penetration, reflection, diffraction, polarisation and antenna configuration.
'Radioplan was founded by radio engineering students, and we would like to give the next generation of RF engineers the chance to use the same suite of tools that they will find in use in industry', said Johannes Huebner, Radioplan's Executive Manager.
'Our toolsets are trusted to provide simulation and optimisation results to dozens of the world's largest mobile operators, equipment vendors and R and D organisations, and we hope that early experience with the full functionality of these advanced tools will open many new employment and research opportunities for future radio engineers'.

RPS uses sophisticated ray launching algorithms to predict the precise performance of radio channels, an approach that has several advantages over other algorithms, making it the best choice for high performance propagation prediction, accurate coverage results, and the teaching of best practises.
RPS Student can be upgraded to allow unlimited parallelisation for more in depth research needs - one reference installation consists of a fully-equipped 56 processor blade server, each running a separate prediction engine.
RPS has an integrated environment editor with layer support, plug-in support for custom propagation models, surface plots, and post-processing applications, and can import environment data from dozens of source CAD formats.
RPS also has several built-in 2D/3D surface plot functions that provide overviews of a wide variety of results.
RPS Student comes complete with several sample environments, allowing educators to provide a complete virtual RF laboratory to radio engineering students immediately, and a full user manual, with tutorials on a wide variety of RF propagation subjects.
