Determination of progression steps in lattice planning method

The most frequently utilized methods of radio frequency planning are briefly reviewed, and the lattice method (also known as the linear rhombic network method) is examined in detail. Unlike other methods, the lattice planning method offers the possibility of arranging the transmitters according to a mathematical law. The arrangement is such that all the distances between adjacent transmitters are equal and all the channel distances are equal, resulting in equal interference, both in type and level, at each transmitter location. This makes it possible to minimize the interference level during planning. >
