PathCheck is an RF planning tool which aids in the design of point-to-point microwave links, based on Trango Systems lineup of backhaul radios. The application provides two handy tools including Quick Calc which provides point-to-point link and reliability calculations based on distance, frequency, antenna size, and rain region. PathCheck also includes a full Path Profile tool which enables users to enter end point coordinates (lat. and long.) or to use the mobile devices GPS location. The application displays the terrain profile and fresnel zone so that users can see if there is a clear radio line-of-sight between points. PathCheck also displays a table which shows link availability (reliability) and capacity for various modulation levels from 1024QAM to QPSK.
