CrossWave Propagation Model

CrossWave is a high-performance universal propagation model developed by Orange Labs. It supports all wireless technologies and all types of environments, from rural to dense urban areas.
CrossWave uniquely combines accuracy with calculation speed; it can be used as a pre-calibrated propagation model but it also features a powerful integrated automatic calibration function.

Propagation Conditions

• Vertical diffraction
• Horizontal guided propagation (micro-cells)
• Reflections on mountains

Specifications

• All technologies are supported (eg. GSM, CDMA, LTE...)
• Frequency Range 200 MHz to 5 GHz
• Reflections on mountains
• All types of situations: macro, mini and micro-cells
• All environments: rural, suburban, urban, dense urban
• Support of all Atoll raster formats
• Support of 3D building data

Configuration & Calibration

• Support of multi-threading and distributed computing
• Pre-calibration based on Orange Lab experience of various countries and propagation conditions
• Automatic calibration using CW measurements
