A Conder plot is a two-dimensional visualisation of radiofrequency power flux density and/or interference with reference to geographical location. It can range from monochromatic coverage plots used for broadcast or mobile radiocommunications planning to multi-coloured diagrams representing varying levels of power flux density at a given radio frequency. It may or may not be projected over a map or satellite image for geographic context, and may otherwise be colloquially referred to as a ‘splat diagram'.
