SIMULATION

Simulate Time-Varying Radio Channels

Analyse how wireless channel characteristics evolve as objects and terminals move through a 3D environment.

Powered by Ranplan's GPU-native Castor engine, Dynamic Scene Simulation uses physics-based 3D ray tracing to calculate radio propagation across successive simulation frames.

By capturing changes in propagation paths and multipath behaviour, engineers and researchers can investigate the effects of movement on wireless communications and gain a more detailed understanding of time-varying radio channels.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

What is dynamic scene simulation?

Dynamic scene simulation models changes within a 3D environment over time and calculates how those changes affect radio propagation. It enables engineers and researchers to investigate wireless channel behaviour in scenarios involving moving objects and terminals. 

How does dynamic scene simulation differ from static wireless simulation?

Static simulations calculate radio propagation within a fixed environment. Dynamic scene simulation evaluates a sequence of changing conditions, allowing users to analyse how radio channel characteristics evolve over time. 

What types of movement can be simulated?

Users can model moving vehicles, machinery, small cells and wireless terminals using configurable paths and timelines to represent different mobility patterns and operating scenarios. 

What simulation results are available?

Ranplan Castor provides simulation playback and detailed channel analysis, including power delay profiles, Delay-Doppler spectra, angular spectra and cross-polarisation characteristics. Results can also be exported for further processing and research.
