Lee Model for Point-to-Point Mode is a radio propagation model
Radio propagation model
A radio propagation model, also known as the Radio Wave Propagation Model or the Radio Frequency Propagation Model, is an empirical mathematical formulation for the characterization of radio wave propagation as a function of frequency, distance and other conditions...

 that operates around 900 MHz. Built as two different modes, this model includes an adjustment factor that can be adjusted to make the model more flexible to different regions of propagation.

Applicable to/under conditions

This model is suitable for using in data collected in a specific area for Point to Point links.

The model

The Lee Model for point to point mode is formally expressed as:
