Learn how to use radar coverage analysis effectively
Creating Your First Analysis
- 1Navigate to Quick Analysis or create a new Project
- 2Click on the map to place your radar
- 3Configure radar parameters (or select a preset)
- 4Select a target type (e.g., Person, Drone, Vehicle)
- 5Click 'Run Analysis' to generate coverage map
Understanding Radar Parameters
- 1Frequency: Higher = more atmospheric loss, narrower beams
- 2TX Power: More power = longer detection range
- 3Antenna Gain: Higher gain = narrower beam, longer range
- 4Beamwidth: Narrower = higher gain (auto-calculated option)
- 5System Loss: Account for cables, connectors, radome
Optimizing Coverage
- 1Position radar on high ground for better line-of-sight
- 2Increase antenna height to see over obstacles
- 3Use narrower beamwidth for longer range in specific sector
- 4Consider multiple radars for full 360° coverage
- 5Account for terrain masking in valley areas
Working with Terrain
- 1Enable terrain profile to visualize obstructions
- 2Check line-of-sight to specific points of interest
- 3Use Fresnel zone analysis for RF path clearance
- 4Consider building obstructions in urban areas
- 5Account for vegetation loss in forested regions
