Abstract:
1. A method of computer-assisted modeling of a leaky coaxial cable signal source in a wireless data network comprising: displaying a segmented line formed of a plurality of straight segments connected end-to-end on a display screen, said line representing a layout of the leaky coaxial cable, and each of said segments representing a respective cable segment of said cable; selecting a point of interest spaced from the line of the layout of the cable; determining a one of said cable segments that is likely to produce a dominant level of irradiation with respect to the point of interest by determining for each cable segment a shortest radio distance metric with respect to the point of interest; and generating a signal pattern, from said determined one of said cable segments, of the signal coverage provided by the cable with respect to the line of the layout of the cable.
