Wireless insite software verification via analysis and comparison of simulation and measurement results

The paper discusses the process of outdoor software prediction of radio wave propagation, practical realization of the simulation and measurement procedure and a comparative analysis of obtained results. In this regard, the Wireless InSite has been used to perform precise estimation of value and spatial distribution of total power and RMS of electric field strength. Handling by the Wireless InSite software and calculation of specified parameters, in frequency bands of 900 MHz and 1800 MHz, is briefly described. Practical realization of measuring of the same parameters, at the same locations and under the same circumstances as the simulation had, are also described. This has enabled detailed and relevant comparison of simulation and measurement results and ultimately verification of the Wireless InSite software using comprehensive analyses of quality and accuracy. The obtained results are also compared with the limits prescribed by the Rule 37/2008 on limiting the emission of electromagnetic radiation of the Council of the Communications Regulatory Agency of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
