Input Parameter Specification for the Longley-Rice and Johnson-Gierhart Tropospheric Radio Propagation Programs, 0.02-40 GHz

Abstract

The Longley-Rice and Johnson-Gierhart prediction programs are statistical/semi-empirical models of tropospheric radio propagation for low and high altitude scenarios, respectively, in the frequency range 0.02 - 40 GHz. These programs have been acquired by the MITRE Corporation and have been made compatible with the IBM-370 computer at MITRE, Bedford. This report describes these programs with particular emphasis on input parameter specification.
