Propagation models for the Radiocommunication Event Management System (REMS) in the V-band

This paper presents an analytical method for determining marine VHF communication bands based on the propagation model included in the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) recommendations. The developed method to determine communication bands was compared with the model recommended by the International Maritime Organization (IMO). The usefulness of the method developed by the authors has been demonstrated for the needs of the Radiocommunication Events Management System (REMS).
