A Computer Aided Design for Collocated HF Links

Abstract

COEDS (Communication Engineering Design System) is an interactive CAD/CAE work station tool. COEDS may be used to analyze electromagnetic interference (EM) in topside HF communication systems and may be used as a guide to mitigate cosite interference. An example was shown which demonstrated: a system configuration can be entered directly as a block diagram using a mouse; user inputs are simple, constrained to menus and data base entries so that errors are minimized; all inputs to the analysis modules are generated automatically; the system configuration may be easily changed and quickly reanalyzed; interference levels are shown in graphical and tabular form; and link range may be calculated on the basis of cosite EMI. Some of the key features of COEDS are: the Block Diagram Editor which operates from a mouse and an equipment data base; a configuration data base which stores instances and changes to system designs; the integration of foreign batch programs; and the initial design of post processor to produce a 'thought enhancing output'.
