TAP Coverage Plots in Google Earth
Users of the Terrain Analysis Package rf system design
software are now able to show areas of excellent radio coverage, as
well as areas with problematic coverage, in cooperation with the
Google Earth application.
With TAP 6.0.2163 or later, the 3DD Module and a Maintenance
Subscription date of April 30, 2007 or later, you can export
predicted coverage from TAP as bitmap for use directly with Google
Earth.
When you have the desired coverage calculated in TAP and
displayed in HD Mapper, click the Google Earth button to create the
KML file and launch Google Earth and see your map in Google Earth.
This new feature is provided to all our customers at no additional
charge, if you have the 3DDisplay module as a part of your TAP
system and a current maintenance subscription. If you would like to
add this capability to your TAP system with a current software
maintenance subscription and the 3DD module, please contact us.

 For the 19th year in a row SoftWright has exhibited the
Terrain Analysis Package Software (TAP)tm at the International
Wireless Communications Expo (IWCE) in Las Vegas. Larry D.
Ellis and Curt Alway talked to many current and prospective
clients about using TAP for their specific rf design
applications.

Draw Multiple Fresnel Zones |
| |
There is now the capability to plot multiple Fresnel
zones on one point-to-point path profile study. You can plot
either multiple numbers of zones with a constant ratio or
multiple ratios of a particular specified Fresnel zone on the
profile.
This can facilitate the intuitive analysis of terrain and
obstructions along the path by analyzing both 0.5 and .06 of
the First Fresnel Zone on the same plot, if desired. You could
also plot a series of even multiples of Fresnel Zones such as
the 1.0 of the second, fourth, sixth and eighth Fresnel Zones
to analyze the path for reflections. On those zones a perfect
reflection would cancel your incident signal with the
reflected signal. This new capability is added to your TAP
system automatically, if you have a current software
maintenance subscription.

Digital Microwave Fade Margin |
| |
You can compute both the Thermal Fade Margin (TFM)
typically used for analog systems, and the Composite Fade
Margin (CFM) used for digital systems.
The methodology used for these calculations is explained in
detail in the associated link on the FAQ below.
