Tuning Ray Tracing for Mm‐wave Coverage Prediction in Outdoor Urban Scenarios

Propagation characteristics at 26, 28, and 38 GHz (Ka band) in outdoor environments are analyzed through path loss measurements in two different urban scenarios and used to tune a ray‐tracing model, with specific focus on nonspecular scattering and vegetation attenuation.
