Narda EFC-400 Software Simulates High-Frequency Scenarios
Narda Safety Test Solutions has updated its EFC-400 simulation software. The new 'TC' variant can now model the propagation of high-frequency (RF) radiation around obstacles like roofs and masts.

Narda Safety Test Solutions GmbH has expanded the capabilities of its EFC-400 simulation software to encompass high-frequency (RF) scenarios. The company's new 'TC' (Tele-Communication) variant allows for compliance checks against limit values for planned transmission systems, a practice already standard in the low-frequency sector.
EFC-400 is an established tool, particularly for demonstrating protection distances in the planning of high-voltage power lines. Its functionality has now been extended to simulate high-frequency waves. The updated version can model the effects of roofs, masts, and even entire cities, accounting for signal reflection and shadowing.
By utilizing EFC-400, organizations can ensure their planned transmission systems meet required limit values during the planning phase itself. This prevents costly and time-consuming modifications after construction, akin to avoiding the need to adjust the height of electricity pylons retrospectively.
Narda also provides information on the software through YouTube tutorials, offering concise instructions on its use. The company aims to equip users with effective tools and knowledge for managing electromagnetic fields.
