The STORMS project: an antennas and propagation perspective

The article presents an overview of the functionality of the STORMS planning tool from an antennas and propagation perspective, with particular emphasis on novel integral equation methods used in propagation modelling. The STORMS prototype propagation tool is an advanced and versatile body of object oriented software. It provides the developer with an open environment facilitating the incorporation of new propagation models which can fully use any of a range of existing modules.
