Using propagation models helps with communication system planning and maximizes the use of the radio spectrum, a limited natural resource. Here is a comparative analysis between some propagation models and actual measurements from Yenagoa, Southern Nigeria. Electric field strength measurements made during drive tests for two television transmitters operating at 210.25 MHz and 577.10 MHz make up the experimental data. Analytical comparisons were made between verified predictions for the free space, Okumura, and Hata models and measured data. The results demonstrate that these empirical models fail to take into account Yenagoa's actual terrain profile for television broadcast. The Okumura model is the best fit, with ideal values for root mean square error (RMSE) of 34.9136 and 33.2841 and average relative error of 0.13212 and 0.4327 for 210.25 MHz and 577.10 MHz, respectively. However, if the Okumura model is tailored for Yenagoa to improve electric field strength prediction and coverage estimation, better results can be attained.
