Abstract:
A radio signal path design tool that allows radio link propagation path profiling or path-loss measurement where the link partner antenna towers are located in a proposed fixed location on the earth's surface, but are extendable a certain distance in any direction from the fixed location. The design tool can be used to compute a radio link path profile at the proposed tower location, while still correctly representing terrain variations in a variable path extension distance on either side of the radio link. To correctly represent terrain variations across the depicted portion of the earth's surface, the tool computes and applies a modified earth-bulge factor or k-factor. The variable extension distance on either side of the radio link allows for latitudinal and/or longitudinal variations in antenna tower placement, greatly facilitating the identification of appropriate positions of antenna towers during the wireless link design phase.

Claim (Index 10):
The system of  claim 8 , further comprising a modified earth bulge factor computation module configured to compute a modified earth bulge factor using the computed first earth curvature correction values along the first radio link distance, and the second computed earth curvature correction values along the second radio link distance, wherein the radio path profile generation module is further configured to compute the radio signal path profile along the first radio link distance using the modified earth bulge factor.
