Title :
Frequency planning and system design of wide-area coverage cellular radio systems
Author_Institution :
ESKOM, Johannesburg, South Africa
Abstract :
A cellular-based approach to frequency planning and system design in wide-area-coverage radio systems is presented. The basic cellular theory is described; appropriate frequency allocation methods are discussed; and performance planning criteria are detailed with respect to ESKOM´s experience in VHF and UHF systems. The use of computerized propagation prediction tools in the design process is discussed
