Interdisciplinary Topics in Applied Mathematics and Computational Science

This book lists general information about a Monte Carlo simulation methodology in radio. In addition to providing general information, the text also constitutes a specification of the first generation of software SEAMCAT (spectrum engineering advanced Monte Carlo analysis tool) that uses the Monte Carlo method applied to radio cases.

The problem of unwanted emissions, an important factor affecting the efficiency of radio spectrum use is the subject of an in-depth treatment in various forums both internal and external to the European Conference of Postal and Telecommunications Administrations (CEPT). While the need to re-evaluate the limits of unwanted emissions within Section 3 of the Radio Regulations (RR) is supported, it is generally considered to be preferable to use for this purpose a generic method. One of the many reasons why generic methods are preferred is their ability, a priori, to deal with new systems and communication technologies as they arise. Another reason is that only a generic method can aspire to become the basis of an analytical tool widely recognized.

The tool for radio Monte Carlo simulation described in this report was developed based on the above considerations, in the process of the European Radiocommunications Committee (ERC).

SEAMCAT is the application of a Monte Carlo simulation model for radio, developed by a group of CEPT administrations, members of the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) and international scientific bodies. SEAMCAT is a computer program whose object code is public, being distributed by the European Radiocommunications Office (ERO) of the CEPT.

Computing and information technology area courses have as objectives the training of human resources for the technological development of computing (hardware and software) in order to meet society's needs for the application of computer technology in the interests of society and the formation teachers for middle and vocational education. Between the needs of society can be met with the aid of computers can be mentioned: storage of large volumes of information of all kinds and shapes and their recovery in an acceptable time; computing complex mathematical calculations in extremely short time; secure communication, fast and reliable; automation, control and monitoring of complex systems; fast computing repetitive calculations involving large amounts of information; processing images from different sources; games and tools to support teaching,...
