Network Planning Tool - Effect of Changing Propagation Radius

[David123]

Hi there,

Whilst running a project in Google Network Planner, we’ve noticed that simply changing the “propagation radius” in the overall project settings has an impact on the PDSCH SINR report (no other changes have been implemented between projects).  In both examples, we use an inter-site distance of 400m.  In example 1, we use a propagation radius of 500m (minimum that the tool will allow), and in the second example, extend this to 800m.

Propagation Radius 500mPropagation Radius 800m

Is this an anomaly of the mathematics used by the tool?  Does anyone have any ideas on why this is happening?
