Abstract:

[ITU] Recommendation P.528 contains a method for predicting basic transmission loss in the frequency range 100–30,000 MHz for aeronautical services. This software published by the Institute for Telecommunication Sciences implements Annex 2 of Rec P.528, the Step-by-Step method to computing propagation loss for air-to-ground paths. The software is freely available throughGitHub.

Companion software (p528-gui) provides a Graphical User Interface (GUI) that can be used with this software implementation.

Keywords: propagation prediction; air-to-ground propagation; propagation model; aeronautical mobile service; transmission loss; ITU; P.528
