How to add an object that interferes in the propagation of a signal emitted by a Tx transmitter in the RF tolbox?

In this example an OpenStreetMap map is being loaded and that works fine, however I need to add an object between the Tx transmitter and the Tx receiver that interferes with the signal and I don't know how to do it.

Hi Camilo,

As per my understanding, to add an object to the simulation that would interfere with the signal propagation between a transmitter (Tx) and a receiver (Rx) please refer to the following workaround.

Import the data using the "readgeotable" function and use the output geospatial table as an input to the site viewer in the above mentioned example. This feature is available from the MATLAB R2023b version.

Please refer to the following MATLAB Documentation for better understanding of the function:

readgeotable: https://www.mathworks.com/help/map/ref/readgeotable.html

Creating Geospatial tables: https://www.mathworks.com/help/map/create-geospatial-tables.html

Hope this helps!

Hello,

I've tried this workaround, and I'm not succeeding with it. I'm guessing it's not possible to read the Site Viewer several times, similar to how the command hold on; works in order for the files to overlay within the Site Viewer, in my case, a plastic sphere in my Conference Room (the example from mathworks, not that it is (siteviewer("SceneModel",mapFileName)). Anyway, the goal is to place an independent object, which will be taken into accoun in the ray tracing propagation funciton, inside the Site Viewer at different locations. Any clue on how to solve this?
