If linear, the gain data is assumed to be in terms of relative field radiation ranging from 0 to 1. If logarithmic, the gain data can be given in terms relative to a dipole (dBd), relative to an isotropic (dBi), or relative to the pattern maximum (dB). For data relative to the pattern maximum, the gain values must range from -100 to 0 dB. Pattern data units L = Linear (relative field radiation) D = Decibel (logarithmic) Gain data values (linear)? The directional antenna pattern can be divided up into sections. Within each section, you specify an initial azimuth, a final azimuth, and an azimuth increment. Then the program will prompt you for pattern data by printing an azimuth and expect you to type in the pattern value for that azimuth. Nulls can be specified by typing in the word NULL as the response to the prompt. The program will then ask for the NULL azimuth and the NULL value. Pattern peaks can be similarly entered by typing PEAK. It then continues asking for the rest of the pattern data within the section until the section is complete or you enter NULL or PEAK again. When the section is complete, it will ask for data on the next section. You can stop entering data at 180 deg, if the pattern data is symmetrical. The program will then ask if you want the data from 0 to 180 deg to be replicated from 360 to 180 deg which will produce a symmetrical pattern. Interpolated pattern values will be used for all azimuths not specified by the antenna pattern that you provide. Initial azimuth ( .0 deg)? Final azimuth (180.0 deg)? Azimuth increment ( 15.0 deg)?

You may wish to view the FAX output and then call TA Services to produce a color scaled plot. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Location variability (.1 to 99.9%) 6)Location variability (95.0%)? Questions 5 and 6 are asked if Service in Question 4 is set to Broadcast. The required percentage of paths whose actual propagation loss is less than or equal to the predicted loss; e.g., choosing location variability equal to 50% will cause the program to predict a loss which is equal to or greater than the loss for 50% of the paths with similar characteristics. Note: For the Point-to-Point mode of the ITM, location variability should be set to 50%. Acceptable value of Location variability: .1 � LV � 99.9% Time availability (.1 to 99.9%) 7) Time availability? (50.0 %)? The required percentage of time that actual propagation loss is less than or equal to the predicted loss; e.g., choosing time availability equal to 90% will cause the program to predict a loss which is equal to or greater than the loss for 90% of the time. This question is asked if Service in Question 4 is set to Mobile. Enter command (first four characters is enough): CSPM Acceptable value of time availability: .1 � TA � 99.9% Reliability (.1 to 99.9%) 9)Reliability (90.0%)? The required reliability refers to the percentage of successful attempts at establishing communications between the base and mobile units; e.g., choosing a reliability of 90% will cause the program to predict a loss which will allow a system to be 90% successful in completing communications. Acceptable value of reliability: .1 � R � 99.9% Situation variability (.1 to 99.9%) 8)Situation variability (50.0%)? The situation variability is a measure of how well the predicted loss agrees with the measured loss data that the model is based upon; e.g., choosing situation variability equal to 90% then biases the predicted loss to be a greater loss than 90% of the model's measured data. Note: Because of the statistical parameters, it is not realistic to choose high percentages for all three factors, such as LV = 99%, TA = 99%, SV = 99%. The choices would result in unreasonable propagation losses. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- SYSTEM AND ENVIRONMENT CHARACTERISTICS System frequency (20.0 to 20000.0 MHz) 10) Frequency (162.000 MHz)?

Choose the means of expression of output power desired. If you choose T, then the programs will ask the following.

Maximum transmitter antenna power gain relative to a dipole antenna (-100.0 to 100.0 dBd) 26) Maximum transmitter antenna gain ( 4.2 dBd)? If you chose ERP or EIRP above, the program will ask the following. 26) Maximum effective (isotropic) radiated power ? --------------------------------------------------------------------- Transmitter antenna pattern: O = Omni D = Directional 30) Transmitter antenna pattern (Omnidirectional)? If omnidirectional is selected, then power in all directions is given in Question 24. If a directional pattern is selected, the power defined in Question 24 is modified by the antenna gains specified below starting at a bearing of 0 deg N of the reference azimuth. The antenna gain (or loss) is added to the power given in Question 24. If "D" is chosen above, the antenna orientation and pattern are requested. Orientation of the directional antenna. With the pattern data starting at 0 deg, the reference azimuth tells how much the pattern must be rotated to point in the proper direction ( .0 to 360.0 deg East of North) 31) Directional antenna reference azimuth ( .000 deg E of N)? The pattern data can be given in either linear or logarithmic (decibel) units. If linear, the gain data is assumed to be in terms of relative field radiation ranging from 0 to 1. If logarithmic, the gain data can be given in terms relative to a dipole (dBd), relative to an isotropic (dBi), or relative to the pattern maximum (dB). For data relative to the pattern maximum, the gain values must range from -100 to 0 dB. Pattern data units L = Linear (relative field radiation) D = Decibel (logarithmic) Gain data values (linear)? If D(decibel) is chosen, the pattern format is requested. Decibel data reference M = Gain relative to the pattern maximum (dB) I = Gain relative to an isotropic antenna (dBi) D = Gain relative to a dipole antenna (dBd) Example of each input: Gain relative to pattern isotropic dipole Azimuth maximum antenna antenna (deg) (dB) (dBi) (dBd) 0 0.0 19.2 17.0 10 -0.8 18.4 16.2 20 -2.9 16.3 14.1 Decibel reference (dipole antenna)? Regardless of the input form(linear,decibel), the pattern entry format is the same. The directional antenna pattern can be divided up into sections. Within each section, you specify an initial azimuth, a final azimuth, and an azimuth increment. Then the program will prompt you for pattern data by printing an azimuth and expect you to type in the pattern value for that azimuth. Nulls can be specified by typing in the word NULL as the response to the prompt. The program will then ask for the NULL azimuth and the NULL value. Pattern peaks can be similarly entered by typing PEAK. It then continues asking for the rest of the pattern data within the section until the section is complete or you enter NULL or PEAK again. When the section is complete, it will ask for data on the next section. You can stop entering data at 180 deg, if the pattern data is symmetrical. The program will then ask if you want the data from 0 to 180 deg to be replicated from 360 to 180 deg which will produce a symmetrical pattern. Interpolated pattern values will be used for all azimuths not specified by the antenna pattern that you provide. Initial azimuth ( .0 deg)? (This value may be changed by you) Final azimuth (180.0 deg)? (This value may be changed by you) Azimuth increment ( 15.0 deg)?

If you answer "y", the program will request a new start and end azimuth. If you answer "n", the program will ask the following; Do you want the pattern data to be symmetrical from 0 to 180 deg with 360 to 180 deg (Y or N)? If you answer "y" then the pattern will be folded and printed out. Azimuth Gain No. (deg) (dB) --- ------- ----- 1 .00 .00 2 15.00 -.10 3 30.00 -.10 4 45.00 -.70 5 60.00 -1.50 6 75.00 -5.00 7 90.00 -7.50 8 105.00 -10.00 9 120.00 -13.50 10 135.00 -15.00 11 150.00 -17.50 12 165.00 -19.00 13 180.00 -20.00 14 195.00 -19.00 15 210.00 -17.50 16 225.00 -15.00 17 240.00 -13.50 18 255.00 -10.00 19 270.00 -7.50 20 285.00 -5.00 21 300.00 -1.50 22 315.00 -.70 23 330.00 -.10 24 345.00 -.10 25 360.00 .00 Do you want to make any changes (No)? If you answer "y" the program will ask; Do you want to (C)hange, (A)dd, or (D)elete an elevation/gain pair or (S)tart over (Change elevation/gain pair)? If you answer "C", the program will ask you what azimuth to change and will allow you to change the value for that azimuth. If you answer "A", the program will ask you for the azimuth and pattern value. If you answer "D", the program will ask you for the azimuth to delete. If you answer "S", the program will restart at the beginning of the directional antenna question. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The vertical antenna pattern is entered similarly to the horizontal pattern.
