• Please be careful on deciding Vertical Beam Width.

Choose proper vertical beam width based on band and
antenna type.

Inter Site Distance (ISD)
From trigonometric formula, we can set touchdown points for MainBeam, HPB Upper, and HPW
lower. Predicted overlap zone happened to the UEs. Ant 1: Ant 2:
• X : HalfPowerLower3dB • A : HalfPowerUpper3dB
This methodology is very traditional way to measure cell shaping. Weakness of this due to not
calculate cell power, antenna gain, reflection and fading impact during signal propagation. • Y: MainBeam • B: MainBeam
• Z: HalfPowerUpper3dB • C: HalfPowerLower3dB

• This tools can be used for coverage simulation (over GE view) for
coverage optimization (badspot, VIP complain case).  Generate
.kml file
• Input all of the cells that covered to the spot  Input All the data
needed (Vertical BW, Horizontal BW, Azimuth, Heigh)  Input
proposed mechanical and electrical tilt  Process
• The Output will show how far coverage of upper 3dB of each cells.
• Find the best tilting solution for each cells.
