Sionna RT: Technical Report
Quick summary
arXiv:2504.21719v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Sionna is an open-source, GPU-accelerated library that, as of version 0.14, incorporates a ray tracer, Sionna RT, for simulating radio wave propagation. A unique feature of Sionna RT is differentiability, enabling the calculation of gradients for the channel impulse responses (CIRs), radio maps, and other related metrics with respect to system and environmental parameters, such as material properties, antenna patterns, and array geometries. The release of Sionna 1.0 provided a complete overhaul of the ray tracer, significantly improving
