Abstract
Apparatuses, methods, and systems for a site survey tool are disclosed. One site survey tool includes an elevated platform comprising a directionally adjustable beam-forming antenna, and operates to adjust an elevation (z coordinate) of the adjustable beam-forming antenna, a ground unit that operates to adjust to a plurality of locations (x and y coordinates). The elevated platform and the ground unit operate to determine an angular spread boundary of a supercell base station, determine a power azimuth angular spectrum threshold needed in order for the supercell base station to support adaptive sectorization, estimate a power azimuth angular spectrum of a site, and determine that the site supports the supercell base station if the estimated power azimuth angular spectrum of the site is less than the power azimuth angular spectrum threshold at the angular spread boundary.
