A Database for Propagation Models and Conversion to C++ Programming Language

Abstract

In the past few years, a computer program was produced to contain propagation models and the necessary prediction methods of most propagation phenomena. The propagation model database described here creates a user friendly environment that makes using the database easy for experienced users and novices alike. The database is designed to pass data through the desired models easily and generate relevant results quickly. The database already contains many of the propagation phenomena models accepted by the propagation community and every year new models are added. The major sources of models included are the NASA Propagation Effects Handbook or the International Radio Consultive Committee (CCIR) or publications such as the Institute for Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE).
