It must be emphasised that the measurements and modelling in this Recommendation intrinsically include the effect of terminal clutter, so it would be inappropriate to add a calculation of clutter separately.

Average profile height around the Rx |
| S | m | The average level of the terrain height between distances of 3 and 15 km from the Rx antenna in the direction of the Tx antenna. If Tx-Rx distance d is less than 15 km, then the terrain height is averaged between distances 0.2 d and d km. |
Average profile height around the Tx |
| S | m | The average level of the terrain height between distances of 3 and 15 km from the Tx antenna in the direction of the Rx antenna. If Tx-Rx distance d is less than 15 km, then the terrain height is averaged between distances 0.2 d and d km. |
Terrain clearance angle (at the Rx) | qtca | S | deg | The h2 terminal's clearance angle as calculated in Section 11, noting that this is the elevation angle relative to the local horizontal
|
Terrain clearance angle (at the Tx) | qeff1 | S | deg | The h1 terminal’s terrain clearance angle calculated using the method in Paragraph 4.3 case a), whether or not h1 is negative |
Terrain height above sea level at the Rx | S | m | Terrain height in meters above sea level at the receiver/mobile. This parameter is used in combination with the antenna height (from the Rx local environment) and the average profile height around the Rx to compute the effective antenna height. | |
Terrain height above sea level at the Tx | S | m | Terrain height in meters above sea level at the transmitter/base. This parameter is used in combination with the antenna height (from the Tx local environment) and the average profile height around the Tx to compute the effective antenna height. | |
