New Heuristic Diffraction Coefficient for Modeling of Wireless Channel
By
Progress In Electromagnetics Research C, Vol. 12, 125-137, 2010
Abstract
A new reciprocal heuristic diffraction coefficient for lossy dielectric wedge is presented which is applicable to arbitrary positions of transmitter and receiver in a complex channel environment. The prediction obtained using proposed coefficient is compared with those obtained using rigorous Maliuzhinets'solution. The comparison shows significant improvement over available heuristic coefficients. The coefficient is valid for both parallel and perpendicular polarizations. Further, the measurement of the electric field in the vicinity of edge of the building is carried out, and the measurement result, thus obtained, is compared with predictions using the proposed coefficient.
