A method and system for the automatic scaling of radio transmitter characteristics. Transmitter designs are subject to change based upon the parameters of receivers and the desired characteristics of communications links in a communications system. The method of the present invention involves automatically scaling certain characteristics of a transmitter based upon other characteristics of the transmitter and the desired characteristics of a communications link. Autoscaling calculates the bandwidth necessary for the transmitter based upon other characteristics of the transmitter, such as modulation type and data rate. Information concerning the modulation type and the scaling factor associated with each modulation type are stored in a database for access by the system. Once these transmitter characteristics are known, further transmitter characteristics, such as bandwidth, are automatically calculated. The system allows for multiple designs to be created so that analysts can select the optimal design for the mission. The system also allows for animated soft copy output of maps, reports and graphs to be created as well as allowing for hard copy output of reports graphs.
