Summary:

This report reviews much of the earlier work on radio propagation in urban areas, including a good deal of data from measurement programs, careful studies of multipath propagation, and techniques to reduce multipath fading. A number of investigators have also developed propagation models for use in urban areas. Most of these are largely empirical, and are presented as curves with various correction factors for antenna height, frequency and terrain irregularity. The present report describes a model, intended for use with a digital computer, which provides a rapid means for calculating both the median attenuation and the location variability expected in urban areas. The model has been tested against measured values and is applicable for a wide variety of conditions.
