SEAMCAT calculates the probability of interference for generic (i.e. non-cellular) victim systems. Each sample of dRSS and iRSS generated during a simulation is compared against the relevant signal-to-noise criterion (specified in the scenario, such as C/N, C/...

SEAMCAT can address virtually all radio interference scenarios on terrestrial[1] paths in both co-channel (sharing) and adjacent frequency (compatibility) interference studies. This flexibility is achieved by the way the system parameters are defined as variab...

Many common terms in RF engineering are used differently depending on the specific community where they are used. The following gives a non-exhaustive example of the variety of terms that can be found. C (i.e. the wanted signal level) is referred to in differe...

SEAMCAT is an open source project developed using Java which means it can run on any operating system supported by Java. The SEAMCAT installation is started by clicking on the install link from www.seamcat.org and it is free of charge. The .jar package is plat...

When SEAMCAT (5 and upward) is run, a folder (SEAMCAT home directory) will be automatically created so that every time a new version of SEAMCAT is run, a subfolder with the version number will be created as shown in Figure 14.  Figure 14: Illustration of the s...

 The source code for SEAMCAT is made available for scrutiny. The only condition for obtaining a copy of the source code is to sign a special Source Code User Licence Agreement and deliver it to ECO by email (seamcat@eco.cept.org). The procedure is described at...

As of version 5, SEAMCAT is able to run in multiprocessor environments to increase the computation speed. The more processors a computer has, the less time a simulation will take. Since the Monte Carlo simulation method considers that each event is independent...

The SEAMCAT project is an ongoing WG SE (Working Group Spectrum Engineering) activity (Figure 16). The daily maintenance of the project and the SEAMCAT software is entrusted to the ECO. The project is funded by the signatories of the ECO council. The SEAMCAT T...

SEAMCAT allows building customized library of components (systems, antennas etc.) or use those created by someone else. It is possible to use predefined antenna patterns, spectrum emission masks, and propagation models etc. which are available in the SEAMCAT l...

Existing workspaces (i.e. .sws files) which have been generated as part of some ECC report or CEPT reports activities are available at the following address www.ecodocdb.dk. These files are can be opened with the latest SEAMCAT version, with the following rest...

A ‘quick buttons’ toolbar with access to the most commonly used features is avaialable at the top of the SEAMCAT interface window. The function of each button is shown in a tooltip whenever your mouse is moved over it. Certain  buttons are inactive when the fu...

Every time SEAMCAT is launched, a welcome dialog box is displayed which allows the selection of various options (the welcome dialog box can be disabled under File/Configuration). The first step is typically to create a new workspace or open a previously create...

When using SEAMCAT for a compatibility analysis, a typical workflow would be as follows: Create or update a simulation workspace; Set the simulation control parameters (number of events, debug mode or not); Run a simulation; Analyse the event generatio...

A scenario workspace can be seen as a working environment for a given study where all input fields are editable. It consists of the following three tabs: Systems: This allows setting the characteristic of the systems to investigate (generic Tx, Rx and path b...
