A sanity check on the suitability of a propagation model can be done by clicking on <Tools/Test Propagation Models> in the main menu of SEAMCAT, by clicking on the icon (                         Image Added) of the toolbar or by pressing <CTRL+SHIFT+M>. With this feature, it is possible to evaluate the result while using a certain propagation model. .

Figure 51 shows that the SEAMCAT resulting attenuation from the free space is 101.47 dB where the free space path loss is defined as:

where d is given in km and f is given in MHz. This results in

body L = (32.44 + 10 log(8) + 20 log(1000)) = 101.5 dB

Figure 51: Illustration on to check the propagation model results

If one parameter is chosen as a distribution (for instance distance), then the button <generate sorted samples > is activated. Pressing it enables you to plot your results according to a sorted X-axis from min to max.

 

Finally click on <Generate samples> or <generate sorted samples> (depending which one is active) to view the results. If no results are displayed, check the Java console for any error messages.
