Welcome to the SimTX Wiki, the documentation for the SimTX radio simulation platform. These pages cover the SimTX Transmitter desktop application: station setup, transmitting, antennas and the calculations behind them.

Start here

SimTX Transmitter: what the software is and how it fits together
Getting Started: connect to a server and make a first transmission
Transmitter Interface: reference for every control in the window

Operating

Antennas

Antenna System: overview and configuration
Types: Dipole Antenna · Inverted-V Antenna · Vertical Antenna · Yagi Antenna · Full-Wave Loop Antenna · Longwire Antenna · Beverage Antenna · End-Fed Half-Wave Antenna
NEC File Import: custom antenna geometries
Antenna Calculations: sizing, decibels, SWR arithmetic

Understanding the simulation

Propagation Basics: groundwave, skywave, MUF and LUF, noise, and whether a signal will be heard
