There is currently no all-encompassing RF analysis tool on the market that allows for complete end-to-end military and commercial RF communications system analysis and simulation. While myriad tools exist to provide specific functional analysis within this scope, there is no tool to pull all of these functions together, while providing additional functions and algorithmic control over everything in the meantime.
The BAE Systems Integrated RF Design Environment (IRFDE) software system is designed to do precisely this.It is an all-encompassing RF analysis integration environment that can be used to analyze any communications system or element within, from individual radio communications, to individual platform systems, to complex deployed systems comprising a variety of radios across a wide area, to the most complex system of systems including variants of everything. The end-to-end communication system analysis and simulation that IRFDE enables includes static or mobile scenario creation and communication link analysis at any location in the world, taking into consideration terrain and clutter effects, rain and atmospheric losses (including HF), multipath fading, Doppler shifting and shadowing.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
