This paper presents a path loss and coverage analysis study for candidate frequency bands in mmWave region for 5G. We performed numerical analysis over a sample outdoor region in our university campus and compared the coverage regions for different data rates at different frequency bands, namely 28, 60 and 73 GHz. Our results reveal that all frequency bands provide considerable coverage of almost the entire line-of-sight (LOS) region at low data rates. However, when the data rate requirement is increased, the coverage region with 73 GHz becomes approximately 10 times smaller than low data rate applications.
