Abstract

There are the free space model, the direct-path and ground reflected model, Egli model, Okumura-Hata model in the representative propagational models. The measured results at the area of PNG area were used as the experimental data in this paper. The new proposed partial interval analysis method is applied on the measured propagation data in the cellular band. The interval for the analysis is divided from the entire 30 Km distance to 5 Km, and next to 1 Km. The best-fit propagation models are chosen on all partial intervals. The means and standard deviations are calculated for the differences between the measured data and all partial interval models. By using the 5 Km- or 1 Km- partial interval analysis, the standard deviation between the measured data and the partial propagation models was improved more than 1.7 dB.
