Microwave frequency planning tool - RF Cafe Forums

RF Cafe Forums closed its virtual doors in late 2012 mainly due to other social media platforms dominating public commenting venues. RF Cafe Forums began sometime around August of 2003 and was quite well-attended for many years. By 2012, Facebook and Twitter were overwhelmingly dominating online personal interaction, and RF Cafe Forums activity dropped off precipitously. Regardless, there are still lots of great posts in the archive that ware worth looking at. Below are the old forum threads, including responses to the original posts.

Hi All,

Dear Adi,

I am using PathLoss 4.0 since two years, and i have worked on connect and some other planning tools.

But i found that PathLoss is good among them because it os user friendly and very easy to understand and with good relaiablity.
Frequency interfernce modules, refraction modules, diffraction, reflections, all we can consider in this tool.


Regards,
Imran.

I agree Pathloss is good, but in a competition held by Ericsson 4 years ago (yes, a long time in this game I know) IQLink by Comsearch beat PathLoss and Ericsson's own tool on most significant functionalities

PathLoss is very good tool to work on.
I have used Pathloss, CONNECT(Aircom) and NetAct Planner(Nokia).
Reliability calculations of Pathloss are quite reliable.

Here is a handy Execl-based utility which may be of a great help

Regards,
Alok
