EB AND PENN STATE UNIVERSITY JOINTLY INTRODUCE NEW APPLICATION IN MOBILE AD HOC NETWORK TESTING AT MILCOM 2009
Applied Research Lab (ARL) at Penn State University builds a channel and environment simulation system based on EB's radio channel emulator product
Boston, USA (Milcom 2009), October 18, 2009 - EB, Elektrobit Corporation, a leading developer of cutting edge embedded technology solutions for wireless and automotive industries, and the Penn State University Applied Research Lab (ARL) jointly exhibit at Milcom 2009 Conference the latest application in mobile ad hoc network testing. The two organizations have collaborated to provide a hardware-in-the-loop channel and environment simulation system for testing and evaluating microwave communication systems in realistic environments.
The system is comprised of the EB Propsim C8 radio channel emulator, an ArcGIS interface with custom software, and a hardware and control network. The EB Propsim C8 is treated as an embedded channel simulation engine providing the needed channel fading and path loss while the ArcGIS interface provides the user with a scenario editor, terrain and urban datasets, and controls for the system. "The system offers a realistic simulation of the communications channels between four platforms under varying terrain, urban landscapes, and operating scenario conditions." said Erik H. Lenzing, Ph.D., Department Head and Research Engineer from ARL.
The EB Propsim radio channel emulators are test tools designed specifically for modeling and emulating radio channel environments. The emulators enable testing of wireless communication links also in aerospace applications such as avionics, missile and satellite & space communication. With their unique capabilities, the EB Propsim emulators can be used for testing any radio technologies ranging from HF to microwave. These include e.g. JTRS radios, ad hoc networks, multi-antenna radios (MIMO and smart antenna technologies) and satellite systems. EB Propsim emulators are known as the industry-standard, highest performance test tools that produce most realistic and repeatable radio channel emulation characteristics for today's and tomorrow's radio channel testing needs.
