Does anyone have experience modeling propagation loss over a real geographic area? (Longley-Rice, Okumura-Hata, SUI, COST231-Hata, etc...). I'd like to estimate the signal strength around a small geographic area (say <5 km radius) and then go out and physically measure it at a variety of points to test correlation.
The results may appear in a future AAC article series. Target frequencies in the ISM band from say 0.1-10 GHz (168 MHz, 433 Mhz, 900 Mhz, 2.4 GHz, 5.9 GHz)
1) Is there any free/paid software that you can recommend?
2) Is there a mathematical model that you believe is better than others (that I would then have to implement via matlab or mathematica)?
3) Is there a website or a person that you can recommend where I can begin my research?
I've found that it's pretty easy to go down a rabbit hole with this topic -- so I'd prefer people with first-hand knowledge to help guide my way.
Thanks,
Mark
