1 General
1.1 Purpose
This document provides coverage prediction between UHF Radio repeater
Mobile/Handheld radio within various locations around the repeater.
The software used for calculating the coverage is Pathloss 5.0.
The coverage study is limited for outdoor application only.
There are two coverage predictions to be calculated:
 The coverage of signal received on Handheld/ Mobile radio (as receiver) from UHF
Radio repeater (as transmitter), called downlink coverage.
 The coverage of signal received on UHF Radio repeater (as receiver) from
Handheld/ Mobile radio (as transmitter), called uplink coverage.

1.2 Field of application

This coverage study for UHF Radio repeater systems / equipment is designed and
supplied.
