Add propagation Module

• Go to module tab in explorer window

• select SPM

• Make duplicate of SPM

• Double click the duplicate SPM

• Give some special name for duplicate propagation module in general tab

Add propagation Module…

Change the value of K1,K2..K7 in parameter tab

Change the value of clutter parameter in clutter tab

Add propagation Module…

• We can add different propagation module as per requirement.

• Value of constant parameter K1,K2… K7 is calibrated by module tuning of the Network

• The Standard Propagation Model is a propagation model based on the Hata formulas and is suited for predictions in the 150 to 3500 MHz band over long distances (from one to 20 km). It is best suited to GSM 900/1800, UMTS, and CDMA2000 radio technologies.
