Modelling of path loss for land mobile cm and mm wave communication systems

In this paper an attempt is made to extend Hata's method for estimating path loss to cm and mm wave lengths using adaptive propagation techniques. The measurements reported in the literature at 9.6, 28.8 and 57.6 GHz are utilized to deduce the coefficients in the adaptive propagation models for the case of rural area. Predicted results compare well with the experimental data.
