Abstract :
In this work, we concentrate on semi-empirical wave propagation modeling for macrocellular environments where the transmitter antenna is located quite above any surrounding buildings or vegetation. Also. focus on two-dimensional propagation along the great circle path between transmitter and receiver positions. Such methods are useful in flat and moderately undulating terrain as found in most inhabited areas.
