Pathloss 6 Versions

Pathloss 6 has taken on a number of major changes to how the program operates while maintaining a consistent and familiar interface. New program organization is aimed to simplify or eliminate many of the complexities involved in getting started or re-started with Pathloss. New design ideas are intended to allow Pathloss 6 to evolve and adapt to industry needs in the long term.

PL6B - Basic program - Point to Point Link Design
The basic program consists of the network display and the automated linking and design features for point to point radio links. This includes the design modules for terrain data, antenna heights, diffraction, transmission analysis and reflections - multipath analysis. These features are common to all program options.

PL6C - Point to Multipoint design - Local Studies (PL6B + PTMP-Local Studies option)
The point to multipoint design option adds multi-sectored base stations to the network display. These are used for the automatic PTMP linking and design features. Additionally local coverage studies can be carried out from a base station using signal strength, fade margin or visibility as the display criteria.

PL6I - Interference (PL6B + Interference option)
Interference An interference analysis can be carried out between groups of links in the network display or between a network display group and the Pathloss site database for all radio types. For each receiver, the aggregate interfering level of all transmitters is calculated. The receiver threshold degradation and the resulting increase in the outage probability is then determined taking into account the fade correlation for rain and multipath fades. Interference through passive repeaters is included in the calculation. Support for FCC ULS data is included with the interference option.

PL6T - Interference, Point to Multipoint design, Local and Area Studies (PL6B + PTMP-Local Studies & Interference option)
Interference, point to multipoint design & local studies. This option combines the point to multipoint - local studies and interference options. In a local study each base station has its own coverage centered on the base station. In an area study, signals from a number of base stations are calculated into a common area. In addition to receive signal levels, an area study will display the most likely server, carrier to interference and simulcast delay.
