=== Defining Receiver Sets ===
[[File:PROP22PROP21(1).png|thumb|300px|EM.Terrano's preliminary Receiver dialog.]]
Receivers act as observables in a propagation scene. The objective of a SBR simulation is to calculate the far-zone electric fields and the total received power at the location of a receiver. In that sense, receivers indeed act as field observation points. You need to define at least one receiver in the scene before you can run a SBR simulation. You define the receivers of your scene by associating them with the base sets you have already defined in the project workspace. Unlike transmitters that usually one or few, a typical propagation scene may involve a large number of receivers. To generate a wireless coverage map, you need to define an array of points as your base set.
To define a new Receiver Set, go to the Observables section of the Navigation Tree, right click on the '''Receivers''' item and select '''Insert Receiver...''' A dialog opens up that contains a default name for the new Receiver Set as well as a dropdown list labeled '''Select Radiator Set'''. In this list you will see all the available base sets that you have already define in the project workspace. Select and designate the desired base set as the receiver set. Note that if the base set contains more than one point, all of them are designated as receivers. After defining a receiver set, the points change their color to the receiver color, which is yellow by default. The first element of the set is represented by a larger ball of the same color indicating that it is the selected receiver in the scene. The Receiver Set Dialog is also used to access individual receivers of the set for data visualization at the end of a simulation. At the end of an SBR simulation, the button labeled "Show Ray Data" becomes enabled. Clicking this button opens the Ray Data Dialog, where you can see a list of all the received rays at the selected receiver and their computed characteristics.
