1. A method of evaluating the coverage of a geographic area serviced by a communication system using a device that accepts and manipulates cell site data and generates a parametric value comprising:

  • receiving an initial set of cell site design parameters wherein the initial set of cell site design parameters includes uplink parameters comprising a power level for a mobile phone;

    calculating a maximum allowable loss of a signal between the mobile phone and a cell site using the initial set of cell site design parameters wherein the power level of the mobile phone is constant;

    choosing at least one of a plurality of propagation models;

    calculating a predicted loss of the signal by refining the initial set of cell site design parameters; and

    using the predicted loss to evaluate the coverage of the geographic area serviced by the communication system.
