Radio Frequency Ray Tracing

Christiaan Gribble; Jefferson Amstutz    SURVICE Engineering, USA

Abstract

This chapter discusses high performance ray-based radio frequency (RF) simulation and visualization using Embree and OSPRay. Predictive simulation and visualization of radio frequency energy propagation is critical to planning, analyzing, and optimizing wireless networks, and radio frequency ray tracing (RFRT) offers several advantages over other methods. First, modifications necessary to simulate RF energy transfer are fairly straightforward. Second, RFRT generates the full signal trajectory, allowing computation and visualization of signal characteristics that are extremely costly, or even impossible, with other methods. Finally, ...
