Accurate prediction of path loss is essential for the design and optimization of wireless communication networks. Existing path loss prediction methods typically suffer from the trade-off between accuracy and computational efficiency. In this paper, we present a deep learning based approach with clear advantages over the existing ones. The proposed method is based on the Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) technique to predict path loss map of a target area from the satellite image or the height map of the area. The proposed method produces the path loss map of the entire target area in a single inference, with accuracy close to the one produced by ray tracing simulations. The method is tested at 900MHz transmission frequency; the trained model and source codes are publicly available on a Github page.
