Abstract: This bibliography provides a literature search to locate as many propagation models as possible in the frequency range 0.225 to 40.0 GHz. There was reduced emphasis on high frequency, low frequency, and very low frequency models. The bibliography contains 534 references selected from a total of 3493 which were scanned in title and abstract. It is divided into three sections: communication channel simulation (105 citations); propagation effects (349 citations); and miscellaneous references (80 citations). The literature search covered the open literature from 1968 to 1972 and the reports literature from 1962 to 1972.

This bibliography is a report to sponsor listing citations* identified as being related to communication channel simulation, simulators and models or to propagation effects causing attenuation (path loss) in a communication channel.

* The citations listed in this bibliography were taken directly from the NASA Literature Search, the DDC Report Bibliography, and Science Abstracts B. It was not practical within the project limitations to verify the citations against the original documents.

Note: Title page gives additional date of publication, viz., "Issued February 1973."
