Learn how to use radar coverage analysis effectively

Creating Your First Analysis

  1. 1Navigate to Quick Analysis or create a new Project
  2. 2Click on the map to place your radar
  3. 3Configure radar parameters (or select a preset)
  4. 4Select a target type (e.g., Person, Drone, Vehicle)
  5. 5Click 'Run Analysis' to generate coverage map

Understanding Radar Parameters

  1. 1Frequency: Higher = more atmospheric loss, narrower beams
  2. 2TX Power: More power = longer detection range
  3. 3Antenna Gain: Higher gain = narrower beam, longer range
  4. 4Beamwidth: Narrower = higher gain (auto-calculated option)
  5. 5System Loss: Account for cables, connectors, radome

Optimizing Coverage

  1. 1Position radar on high ground for better line-of-sight
  2. 2Increase antenna height to see over obstacles
  3. 3Use narrower beamwidth for longer range in specific sector
  4. 4Consider multiple radars for full 360° coverage
  5. 5Account for terrain masking in valley areas

Working with Terrain

  1. 1Enable terrain profile to visualize obstructions
  2. 2Check line-of-sight to specific points of interest
  3. 3Use Fresnel zone analysis for RF path clearance
  4. 4Consider building obstructions in urban areas
  5. 5Account for vegetation loss in forested regions
