3  Calculation of propagation loss
   (1)   In calculating PL(lmn, Lmn):

      d(lmn, Lmn)     is the distance in kilometres between the location of the radiocommunications transmitter, (lt, Lt), and the mth increment on the nth radial (lmn, Lmn).
                      is the radiocommunications transmitter effective antenna height (in metres) as defined in Schedule 3, except:
      hgr             is 1.5 metres (the nominal receiver antenna height above ground level).

   (2) The propagation loss for the mth increment on the nth radial (PL(lmn, Lnm)) is established as follows:
    Step 1: Calculate the parameters required:
   Step 2:  Calculate the propagation loss for the mth increment on the nth radial (PL(lmn, Lnm)):

        Note: The formulae in Step 1 and Step 2 use Modified Hata propagation from 'ERC Report 068', published by the European Conference of Postal and Telecommunications Administrations (CEPT) in 2000 and revised in 2002. ERC Report 068 is available, free of charge, from the European Communications Office Documentation Database at https://docdb.cept.org/home.
