A computer-based system for radio propagation model management

Describes an initial design study for an intelligent (computer-based) model management system for radio propagation prediction on Earth-space links. The system includes `deep knowledge´ about the relationships between the fundamental concepts used by radio propagation experts. It manages application of the models in particular regions of the world and is able to provide intelligent database support. It is intended for use both by the propagation expert as an aid to developing and testing models and also by the radio system planner as means of obtaining routine propagation predictions using state-of-the-art knowledge on appropriate models and data
