Información de elevación (automáticamente)Información de elevación (automáticamente)Información de elevación (automáticamente)Información de elevación (automáticamente)• The easiest way to obtain elevation data for Radio Mobile is to let the software download
the data as needed.
• By default Radio Mobile will download elevation data if it is not found in your local path. You should change this setting.
To do so click on the Options menu and select "Internet.”pYou will want to click on each element of the list and make sure that "Download from Internet if a file is not found on local path and keep a local copy" is selected on each page (SRTM, Toporama, Terraserver, LANDSAT)
•By setting this option, Radio Mobile will save any elevation data you download to a folder which will speed up rendering of
plots in the future.• The local files path can be set to any folder on your computer or a network drive if you wish to share the downloaded data with other users on your local network.

GTOPO30 is a global digital elevation model (DEM) resulting from a collaborative effort led by the staff at the U.S. Geological Survey's EROS Data Center in Sioux Falls South DakotaData Center in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.
Elevations in GTOPO30 are regularly spaced at 30-arc seconds (approximately 1 kilometer).
It has been available from the EROS Data Center beginning in 1993.
GTOPO30 was developed to meet the needs of the geospatial data user community for regional and continental scale topographic data.

Originally developed in the 1970s to support aircraft radar simulation and prediction.DTED is not used as often now that higher resolution SRTM data is available.
Level 0 has a post spacing of 30 arcseconds in latitude direction (ca. 900 meters)Level 1 has a post spacing of 3 arcseconds (ca. 90 meters)Level 2 has a post spacing of 1 arcseconds (ca 30 meters)Level 2 has a post spacing of 1 arcseconds (ca. 30 meters)
Level 1 and 2 are "Not releasable outside DoD unless specifically authorized "
To download DTED data visit:http://geoengine.nga.mil/muse-cgi-bin/rast_roam.cgiEnter your latitude and longitude into the appropriate boxes and select DTED Level 0 from the "Available Product Levels:" dropdown box. Then click on the "Raster Roam" button and a map will be generated.

The World Geodetic System (WGS) is used to set the horizontal position of a unit. In the program, Latitude ranges from 90° South to 90° North, and Longitude ranges from 180° West to 180° east.
• UTMUniversal Transverse Mercator (UTM) divides earth into 60 zones of 6 degrees of longitude. The Northing is the distance from the equator (m) while the Easting is the distance from the central longitude of the zone (m), added with 500 000.
• MGRSThe Military Grid Reference System (MGRS) is derived from the UTM system of coordinates.

ranked from highest to lowest quality. This is also where you can configure Radio Mobile to use shared elevation data over a network.
• Select the type of elevation data you want to use for each layer then click on the "Browse" button.
Browse to the location of the data and when you are finished click on "OK.“For example, you may want to use GTOPO30 as your top layer and DTED as your second layer.

of your data sources, Radio Mobile will tell you which SRTM data
files are missing so you download the missing pieces. There are some holes in the SRTM coverage so there is a chance you will not be able to download the missing files.
If this is the case check "ignore missing files" after you have filled in as many missing pieces as possible.
Creación de mapas (Creación de mapas (SRTMSRTM))Creación de mapas (Creación de mapas (SRTMSRTM))• SRTM data is by far the most popular data set that Radio Mobile can use.
The Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) obtained elevation data on a near-global scale to generate the most complete high-resolution digital topographic database of Earth.
SRTM consisted of a specially modified radar system that flew onboard the Space Shuttle Endeavour during an 11-day mission in February of 2000.

• SRTM data is available in 2 qualities:3 arcsecond data 90 x 90 meters, Global
Comments:The 3 arcsecond data is public to the world as wel as the USA 1 arcescond data is.
The 1 arcsecond data outside of the USA is not public available.
This is no problem for general RF propagation calculations.
More detailed information is required when you want to do RF analysis in Urban areas. This is required for example by cellular network operators.

Initially SRTM became available in release '1' This first release had som flaws.
Th t h d l l '2' h i d i ifi tlThe current, enhanced release, release '2' has improved significantly:NASA has released version 2 of the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission digital topographic data (also known as the "finished" version).
Version 2 is the result of a substantial editing effort by the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency and exhibits well-defined water bodies and coastlines and the absence of spikes and wells (single pixel errors), although some areas of missing data ('voids') are still present.
Disadvantage of the obtained radar images is that snowedsnowed mountain tops disturbe the radar image. This causes mayor flaws in the SRTM data.

Composite height
SRTM data is of the last type.

On the ground, another layer is put: The Clutter.
This Clutter represents houses, forests, bushes, industry, you name it.
This Clutter has it's own height and characteristics for RF signals. In Radio Mobile clutters comes as 'land Cover' The following image shows Clutter on the DEM:In Radio Mobile clutters comes as land Cover The following image shows Clutter on the DEM:
• Composite data
SRTM data is obtained from scanning the earth surface with a radar. This radar does not have a very high resolution so we cannot see houses in the data, but we can see objects larger than 300x300 meters.
GLOBE is an internationally designed, developed, and independently peer-reviewed global digital elevation model (DEM), at a latitude-longitude grid spacing of 30 arc30 arc--seconds seconds (1 Km).
The ongoing project makes use of several data sources to attain high data quality.
Important parts were taken from GTOPO30, but there are also additional

directly from database', but do a 'Performance test' first before
setting the Max No. of records to use. (The height data requires to be
uncompressed to use this feature).
• With 'Extract Elevation Data directly from the Database', the
calculations use spherical (Great Circle) geometry. In this case the
reported distance is between the antennas, so it will vary with
antenna height. This mode should be used in Microwave studies.
