Case Study: Arqiva improves antenna modeling and broadcast analysis with Maplesoft Maple

Arqiva uses Maplesoft to model antennas and analyze broadcast coverage for UK television services

Arqiva, a major UK broadcast network operator responsible for terrestrial television and mobile communications infrastructure, needed to ensure its transmission stations delivered the required power and coverage. To understand the complex mathematics behind their products and analyze systems like antennas, they turned to Maplesoft and adopted its Maple mathematics software.

Using Maple, Arqiva engineers were able to quickly model and analyze systems with 3D graphics and an intuitive interface, streamlining their analysis and enhancing quality. The solution's flexibility allowed them to start simply and develop as they went. Maplesoft's software, supplemented by the Global Optimization Toolbox for antenna matching, provided the necessary tools to ensure broadcast signals were received over the specified range, supported by extensive online resources and very good support from the vendor.
