Tropospheric Refraction Modeling Using Ray-Tracing and Parabolic Equation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Refraction phenomena that occur in the lower atmosphere significantly influence the performance of wireless communication systems. This paper provides an overview of corresponding computational methods. Basic properties of the lower atmosphere are mentioned. Practical guidelines for radiowave propagation modeling in the lower atmosphere using ray-tracing and parabolic equation methods are given. In addition, a calculation of angleof-arrival spectra is introduced for multipath propagation simulations.

کاربرد روش معادله سهموی در تحلیل مسائل انتشار امواج داخل ساختمان
With the rapid growth of indoor wireless communication systems, the need to accurately model radio wave propagation inside the building environments has increased. Many site-specific methods have been proposed for modeling indoor radio channels. Among these methods, the ray tracing algorithm and the finite-difference time domain (FDTD) method are the most popular ones. The ray tracing approach ...
متن کاملInvestigation of MODIS mission capability in tropospheric delay estimation for precise point positioning
Tropospheric delay is always considered as one of the factors limiting the accuracy of GPS. In this paper, the three-dimensional ray tracing technique is proposed to calculate the tropospheric delay. The ability of the MODIS mission to calculate the tropospheric delay is also examined. For this purpose, an area in central Europe was selected and a MODIS acquisition on 2008/08/01 was studied. In...
متن کاملDistributed Ray Tracing of Mirages
To further increase the realism of ray tracing, we take the idea of distributed ray tracing and add on to it mirage rendering. Mirages are seen quite often in our daily lives, and in order to make computer generated images look as realistic as possible, it is necessary to add things, such as mirage rendering, that are seen in the natural world. Mirages are caused by light passing from colder ai...
متن کاملFull-Wave Analysis of Indoor Communication Problems, based on a Parabolic Equation – Finite Element Technique
This paper presents a new methodology to compute the electromagnetic field in practical cases of indoor communications. In particular, we consider the highly interesting case of the so-called interface modeling, i.e. when a plane wave propagates to the interior of a building. The proposed technique is based on a parabolic wave equation in three dimensions, while the cross section of the computa...
