5. This example adds a second curve
for 90% Reliability, and the area between the 50% and 90% curves
is shaded. The 90% curve shows the areas likely to be covered
during 27 days of a 30-day month and is typical of conservative
commercial HF operation.
Starting with Version 2, you can
now select any reliability level for the second curve of this
display, or may show a selected reliability level as a single
curve.
When showing the ACE maps one after the other, a movie-like display
is produced. In fact, the program that displays the sequential
coverage maps is called MOVIE.
Any of the area coverage displays may be shown on a world map
-- a recommended procedure for the higher-frequency bands, where
far-field fading is often present--or may be shown on a "zoomed
down" map like the one shown above. Any one of four world
maps or 24 zoomed-down maps of various world areas may be selected.
Any given display screen may be printed once the area coverage
limitations are produced. Then, the point-to-point analysis charts
may be used to see the details of transmissions to particular
locations.
Each display includes an "ID" line that summarizes
specified circuit parameters. |
