Software shall consider standard parameters to include transmitter location, terrain, emitted transmitter power, and antenna height in the propagation studies. (2) merge the individual propagation studies to form an aggregate study which identifies a predicted field strength in a cellular system. (3) accept known field strength readings and, u sing those readings, calibrate the model (4) import/export ARCVIEW and ArcGIS file formats. (5) perform propagation modeling of common standards (GSM, CDMA, and TDMA) as well as various systems (cellular, TV/radio broadcast, cordless phones, and mobile radio).
