Signal Attenuation through Foliage Estimator (SAFE)

Abstract

The SAFE tool is an open-source Radio Frequency (RF) propagation model designed for path loss predictions in foliage-dominant environments. It utilizes the ITU-R P.1812-6 model as its backbone, enhances predictions with the physics-based Radiative Energy Transfer (RET) model and makes use of high-resolution terrain and clutter elevation datasets
