 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.

 How to add transmitter
• Repeat the same process as site
• Make sure the conditions:
data should be in same format of atoll
template
Antenna should be selected
Antenna height should be selected
Propagation module should be selected
 Coverage calculation
• Group the site and transmitter as per
requirement
• Activate the antenna
• Select Filtering Zone/Focus Zone/Computation
