The Use of Propagation Prediction Programs for the Purpose of Detection of PMR Devices

Abstract

In these days, both the licensed and license-free PMR radio technology is going through massive paradigm shift as formerly seen at mobile phone technologies. In fact, the new types of digital PMR systems today show a significant relevance in practice. Since these devices can completely bypass the traditional telecommunications infrastructure, their detection and control is only possible by communication intelligence.

In this article I present the results of simulation experiments carried out with a radio propagation prediction program, built upon the theoretical basis I summarized in my previous article. I examine the operation of the selected program and its applicability in communication intelligence, which helps optimize the installation site in practice.
