The communication Research Center of Canada maintains a website where we can predict the coverage of our emitter (RX, video, telemetry, ....) in Canada (it may work for the rest of the world but I didn't test it).

you need to create a login/password, it's free then fill the characteristics of your emitter (freq,power, ...) place the emitter on the map and select the coverage area you want.

What means this measure unit?

I registered.

Seems working at Brazil.

I probably just uses terrain data and assumes a line-of-sight link. Does it allow you to specify an altitude?

Comment by Bertrand Duchiron on August 13, 2012 at 8:17pm

The measure unit is a conversion from dBm to dBv/m, I am not a specialist of RF, there is table of conversion between the unit used here and the dB/m ( http://www.phys.hawaii.edu/~anita/new/papers/militaryHandbook/field... )

Yes, you can specifiy the altitude of  the emitter.

works great. great tool for predicting your RF coverage.

Doesn't seem to have correct datum for my area of interest (CA).  LOS and coverage area is incorrect for areas with high hills
