Abstract :
In this paper it is demonstrated for the first time that for the specific case of base station antennas in macrocell environments it is possible to use a simple propagation model for antenna performance evaluation and design with similar results to those of computationally more complicated simulators. For this purpose, a set of criteria is defined, which, when fulfilled, is shown to assure sufficient coverage, to minimize interference and permit handover
