AntRad is an antenna and radio data file editor developed and published by Contract Telecommunication Engineering Ltd. The software is a standalone application designed to create and edit radio and antenna data files intended for use with the Pathloss 4, Pathloss 5, and Pathloss 6 programs, which places it in the category of telecommunications engineering support tools, specifically utilities for radio link planning and antenna data management. In addition to its core editing capabilities, AntRad serves a conversion function: the program is used to convert version 4 data files into the version 5 format, and it can likewise convert version 5 data files back to the version 4 format. This bidirectional conversion makes the application useful for engineers and organizations that need to maintain compatibility between different generations of Pathloss data, whether they are migrating legacy files to a newer format or preparing files for use in an older environment. The current version of AntRad listed in this catalog is 5.01.05, and one version of the software is available. AntRad is distributed in two ways: the program is included with the Pathloss 5 program as part of that package, and it is also available separately as a free download, allowing users who do not own the full Pathloss 5 suite to obtain the editor on its own. Typical use cases include authoring new antenna and radio data files, modifying existing data files used by the Pathloss 4, 5, and 6 programs, and translating data files between the version 4 and version 5 formats in either direction. Because it functions as a companion utility to the broader Pathloss product family, AntRad supports the data preparation tasks that accompany radio and antenna configuration work within those programs.
