The adjustment of the propagation models for a wide variety of prediction tools is vital for the proper growth of the network and the constant optimization of its elements. It is important to adjust the parameters of the different models according to the propagation characteristics of each environment. The Brightcomms team can help their clients to adjust a number of models suitable for its operation achieving more exact locations for their sites, thus making the optimization of the network very efficient process.
"The propagation models simulate how the radio waves travel through the atmosphere from one point to another. So as to properly model the behavior of radio waves, certain characteristics in the environment such as clutters, terrain, presence of water, and wetlands should be taken into account.
The adjustment of the propagation models is a term that is generally applied to the process of adjusting the parameters of a propagation model in order to generate predictions as accurate and realistic as possible. This activity is usually carried out using as an input the data from the received signal strength level collected in specially designed drive tests.
