Planning a wireless network?
This RF tool is a must-know.
Finding a reliable tool to calculate path loss is crucial.
Because:
- Path loss affects antenna placement.
- Path loss influences data transmission rates.
- Path loss plays a key role in wireless network planning.
I came across a great tool from Scadacore.
It helps you calculate path loss effortlessly.
The best part? It’s completely FREE.
In this guide, I will break down how to use it.
This tool considers two key factors:
Antenna Height
Earth’s Curvature
Just input the antenna heights and locations.
The tool then calculates the path loss for you.
No complex formulas needed.
However, keep in mind it doesn’t consider obstructions.
Still, you get accurate estimates in seconds.
Try it out and tell me what you think!
Thanks for reading.
