✦ Synopsis

An empirical formula for propagation loss is derived from Okumura's report in order to put his propagation prediction method to computational use. The propagation loss in an urban area is presented in a simple form: A + B log R, where A and B are frequency and antenna beight functions and R is the distance. The i a t r o d d formula is applicable to system designs for UHF and VHF land mobile rpdio ~enices, with a d formulation error, under the foUowing conditiom: frequency range 100-1500 MHz, distaace 1-20 km, base station antenna height 30-2@0 m, and vehicular antenna height 1-10 m.
