Results are presented of UHF propagation measurements conducted at 820 MHz in urban Philadelphia. The Philadelphia tests departed from previous path-loss measurements in that emphasis was placed on transmission from relatively low land-site antennas at heights of 40-70 feet above local ground level. Composite path-loss statistics have been derived for transmissions from five separate locations covering local environments considered typical of an urban area. This paper describes the measurement configuration, summarizes the data processing techniques, and presents results of the analysis.
