Abstract:
A radio signal path design tool that provides for a visual depiction of the viability of alternative antenna locations around proposed fixed antenna sites. The design tool computes a radio link path profile at the proposed antenna sites while simultaneously displaying alternative locations around the fixed antenna sites that would potentially achieve the radio link design goals. In some embodiments, the alternative antenna locations are represented as an array of points, arranged in a grid pattern, surrounding the proposed antenna sites. The path design tool may change each displayed point so that the point visually reflects the extent to which the corresponding location satisfies the radio link design goals. By providing a robust visualization, the design tool allows for a ready assessment of alternative radio link paths adjacent to the proposed link path, which allows for flexibility in deploying radio antennas.

Claim (Index 1):
A radio signal path design tool comprising:\n a principal path computation module configured to receive a first proposed location of a first radio antenna and a second proposed location of a second radio antenna, and compute a first path profile between the first radio antenna and the second radio antenna based on the first and second proposed locations; an alternative path computation module configured to receive a first spatial distribution of points around the first proposed location of the first radio antenna and a second spatial distribution of points around the second proposed location of the second radio antenna, and compute alternative path profiles between each of the points in the first spatial distribution of points and each of the points in the second spatial distribution of points; and a graphical user interface module configured to:\n display an aerial view of the path between the first proposed location of the first radio antenna and the second proposed location of the second radio antenna; and \n display the first spatial distribution of points around the first proposed location of the first radio antenna and the second spatial distribution of points around the second proposed location of the second radio antenna wherein:\n a point in the first spatial distribution of points is visually depicted based on the computed alternative path profile between the point in the first spatial distribution of points and each of the points in the second spatial distribution of points; and \n a point in the second spatial distribution of points is visually depicted based on the computed alternative path profile between the point in the second spatial distribution of points and each of the points in the first spatial distribution of points.
