1. An electronic device, comprising:
a sensor;
an interface circuit;
a computation device; and
memory that stores program instructions, wherein, when executed by the computation device, causes the electronic device to perform operations comprising:
performing, using the sensor, measurements associated with an environment;
creating a model that represents the environment, wherein the model specifies a two-dimensional (2D) or a three-dimensional (3D) geometric layout of the environment and estimated parameters associated with radio-frequency properties of at least a portion of the environment, and wherein the estimated parameters comprise: a dielectric constant in the band of frequencies, a permittivity in the band of frequencies, a conductivity in the band of frequencies, or spatial variation in the estimated parameters;
designing a wireless network for use in the environment, wherein the designing comprises determining radio-frequency characteristics in a band of frequencies associated with the wireless network based at least in part on the model, and the wireless network is predicted to achieve one or more target communication-performance metrics; and
providing design information associated with the design that specifies the wireless network, wherein the design information comprises one or more wireless-network components and one or more locations of the wireless-network components in the environment.
