I wish to use the Dominant Path Model at higher frequencies. How should I modify the settings under the Computation tab?

    You may want to adjust the interaction loss value in the DPM parameters.

    The default value of 13 dB is valid for the 2 GHz band and should be adapted depending on the frequency of interest.

    As a rule of thumb the interaction loss increases by 1-2 dB when you double the frequency, e.g., from 2 GHz to the 4 GHz band.

    Similarly it goes down when you reduce the frequency.
