Abstract :
The PICAM software package provides field strength prediction, calculation of carrier-to-interference ratio, coverage prediction, handling of measured data, and user-friendly 2D and 3D color graphics. It uses a topographical database with altitude data and land-cover classification, and includes calculation of street channeling effects. It can be run on any standard personal computer
