Software simulates RF conditions from the Earth to the Moon

Remcom has released Wireless InSite 4.0, a software that allows users to simulate wireless channel conditions and analyze them based on antenna movement.

RemCom Wireless InSite 4.0The latest version of Wireless InSite offers advanced features such as time-based mobility, lunar propagation modeling, and wideband ray-tracing with S-parameter outputs. This new release enhances the simulation of dynamic and complex RF environments, including on-body propagation and support for NASA Artemis missions.

Wireless InSite 4.0 accurately models the movement of transceivers and objects within a user-defined scene, allowing for precise evaluation of dynamic scenarios. Detailed insights into multipath and fading, received power, SINR, and data throughput are provided across time as RF systems and vehicle platforms move through a scene. The software also includes a Results Browser and Viewer for multi-result access and time-sequenced visualization.

In addition, Wireless InSite supports NASA’s Artemis mission by accurately simulating RF propagation on the Moon. By incorporating terrain datasets and a lunar materials database, the software ensures accurate modeling of RF interactions on the lunar surface.

Using full-wave Huygens antennas and data from Remcom’s XFdtd 3D electromagnetic solver, Wireless InSite captures interactions with people, vehicles, and structures in the antenna’s near-field. The software also allows for the simulation of complex electromagnetic interactions with the body or nearby structures, supporting technologies such as 6G, GNSS, and on-body communication.

Engineers using Wireless InSite 4.0 can create multi-technology scenarios and analyze frequency-dependent results. The software’s wideband ray-tracing capability enables frequency-dependent analysis and provides a waveform library, along with S-parameter outputs for comprehensive antenna performance evaluation.
