How to set up a radio link in MATLAB.

A radio link layout


Imagine you were contracted to set up a radio link between Mulago area and Namirembe hill. 
Got up early in the morning, spent the entire day digging and putting up transmitters with your team and at the end of the day as you test your link signal, you realize there's a hill at Makerere that is obstructing the signal!
This means you have to redo the entire process of setting up better or longer transmitters which will increase the cost and waste a lot of time.
All this can be solved by employing Radio mobile. This is a software that helps us predict how the radio link will be, if there are obstacles, then they can be prior dealt with, rather than having to do the work and end up redoing it.

Follow the link below to get a feel of how a radio link can be set up in radio mobile software.

Introduction to Python programming

Python is one of the richest programming languages! Easy to use, whether you are new to programming or an experienced developer, it's really so easy to learn and use python.
Python is a  general purpose programming language and can used for developing both desktop and web applications. 
Also, you can use Python for developing complex scientific and numeric applications.
Let's not forget the data analysis and visualization features that come with it.


  • History of python:
                  Invented in the Netherlands, early 90s by
                  Guido van Rossum.
                Named after Monty Python.

                Open sourced from the beginning.
                Considered a scripting language, but is much more.
                Scalable, object oriented and functional from the beginning.
                Used by Google from the beginning.

Truth is, you are not not to learn all of it in one night, it takes practice, resilience, and sleepless nights haha but when you get there you will see how it was all worth it.

Here's  an example of a simple program l created.

            This can be written in the python IDLE ie Integrated Development Environment, below;


            And the result got after running the program is;
