SEAMCAT development

Technical support and development of SEAMCAT

Deliverable: SEAMCAT

Permanent Work item

Further evolution is planned in STG. Promotion of the features of the SEAMCAT software (e.g. through contribution to the ITU-R)

Digital terrain data in SEAMCAT

To include the possibility to load digital terrain data to be used in combination with some propagation models within SEAMCAT

S: 29-05-2019
T: 31-01-2025

Several propagation models within SEAMCAT require terrain data to fully comply with the specifications for the computation of the transmission loss. These include:
• Rec. ITU-R P.452
• Rec. ITU-R P.1546
• Rec. ITU-R P.1812 (this propagation model still needs to be implemented)
• Rec. ITU-R P.2001
• Longley Rice
STG already discussed the possibility of including digital terrain data in SEAMCAT on several occasions.
It should be noted that SEAMCAT is not intended for planning purposes. In that sense, the implementation of digital terrain data will include any necessary caveats to reflect that fact.

Rev. ECC Report

Revision of ECC Report 252

To prepare revision of the SEAMCAT Handbook

Permanent Work item

Last update of the current ECC Report 252 was in 2016.

The SEAMCAT tool continues to evolve to meet the needs of CEPT administrations for sharing and compatibility studies. The revision of the Report is expected to be useful for administrations and industry to have up to date reference document of SEAMCAT software.
