How to use EPP 15 to extract terrain data of simulation using digital terrain in SEAMCAT

EPP 15 enable SEAMCAT to collect geographic coordinates of Tx and Rx, calculated basic transmission loss and terrain profile. These values are collected for last event for all links in the simulation event: Victim system links, Interfering system links and Interfering links and exported to files.

Collected values are:

• Frequency (MHz)

• Distance (km)

• Pathloss (dB)

• Tx Latitude and Longitude (degree)

• Rx Latitude and Longitude (degree)

• Terrain profiles (m / km)

EPP 15 user interface:

UI gives explanation of values collected and enables user to determine for which category of links in SEAMCAT simulation wishes to collect values. UI is consistent with settings used for some other EPPs (e.g. EPP 1, EPP11, etc.).

EPP 15 Results:

EPP15 results are available in the Results section grouped by type of the link

Open

By clicking link type group, user gets detailed results of collected values giving type of value and unique identifier of link (same as in Event results display). Here is example of values collected for generic system victim system link

When selecting Terrain profiles section for selected type of link user get all terrain profiles and can select terrain profile of interest to get display of height – distance profile and can export it in external file.
