  44. HF Planning • Planning of HF systems employing ionospheric propagation • WRAP uses software from the Institute for Telecommunication Sciences in the USA • ITS HF software is accessed from within WRAP • Properties of stations with definitions according to WRAP standards are used • Data is transferredautomatically to the ITS codes • The standard installation of the ITS HF software can be used external to WRAP.

  45. Time availability, area plot WRAP 0983G

  46. Point-to-Multipoint • Definition of a specific Group: MP Station • Comprises one base station with a number of sector stations. To each of these a number of Clients is associated. • Sector antennas have a fixed azimuth and tilt • Thus not automatically directed towards the clients. • Client antennas are automatically directed in azimuth and tilt towards their sector station • Traffic: Station property Number of Channels • For clients: Defines the traffic requirement of the client • For sectors: Defines the total capacity of the sector station • Total traffic load on a sector station calculated as the sum of the number of channels for each of its associated clients.
