Advanced RF dimensioning utility for modeling 5G NR coverage limits, calculating Maximum Allowable Path Loss (MAPL), and estimating cell footprint using 3GPP standard propagation environments.
5G NR link-budget tools compute MAPL and approximate cell radius for FR1/FR2 using Tx power, antenna gains, margins, and target SINR—essential before site-count planning.
The analyzer solves the RF link equation factoring in gNodeB power, antenna gains, and receiver sensitivity. It then maps the calculated MAPL to a physical distance using 3GPP TR 38.901 path loss formulas for the specified environment.
Built on 3GPP Technical Specifications, ensuring accuracy for production deployments and security audits.
Calculations specifically designed to identify protocol vulnerabilities and signaling misconfigurations.
Supports FR1 (Sub-6GHz) and FR2 (mmWave) frequencies. Essential for initial site dimensioning and nominal network design during the technical planning phase.

If DL MAPL is 140 dB but UL MAPL is 128 dB under the same MCS target, coverage design follows the uplink limit unless you change architecture (e.g., more sites or UL-friendly bands).
Simplified propagation; not a full ray-tracing study. Use for first-pass dimensioning.
MAPL is the largest path loss at which the link still meets the target SNR/SINR for a chosen MCS and reliability. Cell radius estimates follow from MAPL plus a propagation model.
FR2 (mmWave) typically has higher bandwidth and beamforming gain but much higher path loss and blockage sensitivity. Separate budgets per band are mandatory.
Often uplink MAPL is tighter due to UE power limits. Always compute both and take the more restrictive for coverage-limited cells.
