Sensor Software Applications
Sensor Placement and Optimization Tool (SPOT)
SPOT is supplied with SMT and is an invaluable tool for planning sensor deployments. SPOT
allows a map image to be imported and calibrated. It then simulates the RF coverage that can
be expected from the exact locations selected for the RF Sensor network. SPOT can determine
how well the sensor network will perform against a radio transmitter operating at a specific
center frequency, bandwidth and power output. Each sensor location is defined not only by its
latitude and longitude, but also by elevation, antenna pattern, pre-amplifier effects as well as
other parameters. SPOT also provides insight into the effectiveness of the sensor geometry in
performing geolocation measurements. GDOP and lines of constant time or power difference
can be displayed to aid in system design.
