Interference Two different calculation modes are available: Consider a station as victim (as Interfered) Consider a station as Interferer WRAP 0983G

Radio Link Performance The main features are: Support for both analogue and digital radio links Full power budget Fading margins Outage probabilities Auto-handling of attenuation due to atmospheric gases. WRAP 0983G

Spectrum Viewer The Spectrum Viewer gives a visual overview of the spectrum occupancy at any location. Field Strength Received Power WRAP 0983G

Frequency Assignment WRAP efficiently supports assignment of frequencies and polarisation to stations and networks All services Manual assignment Auto assignment Simplex Duplex Consider or exclude existing assignments WRAP 0983G

Collocation Interference WRAP calculates all potentially dangerous frequency coincidences and their levels due to: TX intermodulation RX intermodulation IF breakthrough Image frequency Harmonics Transmitter spectrum mask Receiver blocking Receiver selectivity Antenna illumination EMI emitters Frequency hopping and direct sequence spread spectrum systems are handled.

HF Planning Planning of HF systems employing ionospheric propagation WRAP uses software from the Institute for Telecommunication Sciences in the USA ITS HF software is accessed from within WRAP Properties of stations with definitions according to WRAP standards are used Data is transferred automatically to the ITS codes The standard installation of the ITS HF software can be used external to WRAP.

Point-to-Multipoint Definition of a specific Group: MP Station Comprises one base station with a number of sector stations. To each of these a number of Clients is associated. Sector antennas have a fixed azimuth and tilt Thus not automatically directed towards the clients. Client antennas are automatically directed in azimuth and tilt towards their sector station Traffic: Station property Number of Channels For clients: Defines the traffic requirement of the client For sectors: Defines the total capacity of the sector station Total traffic load on a sector station calculated as the sum of the number of channels for each of its associated clients.
