Multilevel Tabulated Interaction Method Applied to UHF Propagation over Irregular Terrain
نویسندگان
چکیده
A multilevel tabulated interaction method (TIM) is described for application to the analysis of exceptionally large two-dimensional (2-D) UHF terrain propagation problems. While standard TIM schemes offer extremely rapid solutions to terrain propagation problems on a medium to large scale ( 20 km), the computation times increase quadratically with problem size. For problems of extremely large size ( 100 km), we show how the adoption of the multilevel scheme proves beneficial, reducing computation times and restoring the TIM’s computational advantage. Numerical results are provided illustrating the concepts introduced.

Fast Numerical Calculation of UHF Propagat ion over Two Dimensional Dielectric Irregular Terrain using an Integral Equation Met hod
In this paper we describe a new high speed method for the calculation of UHF propagation over irregular terrain which is considered to be a homogeneous dielectric. The method, given that it is rigorous and includes both forward and back scattering, is very fast. The antenna pattern, tilt etc. may be specified arbitrarily. As expected, results compare very well with measurements in the case when...
متن کاملMeasurements and Modeling of Path Loss over Irregular Terrain for Near-Ground and Short-Range Communications
In this paper, radio wave propagation over irregular terrain is investigated in 200–600MHz (VHF/UHF band). Measured results are compared with different path loss models such as Fresnel knife edge diffraction and uniform theory of diffraction (UTD). It is shown that, for low antenna heights, using a combination of the two-ray path loss model and knife-edge diffraction, great improvement in path ...
متن کاملA Three-Dimensional Parabolic Equation Applied to VHF/UHF Propagation over Irregular Terrain
The two-dimensional (2-D) parabolic equation (PE) is widely used for making radiowave propagation predictions in the troposphere. The effects of transverse terrain gradients, propagation around the sides of obstacles, and scattering from large obstacles to the side of the great circle path are not modeled, leading to prediction errors in many situations. In this paper, these errors are addresse...
متن کاملAtmospheric Sound Propagation Over Large-Scale Irregular Terrain
A benchmark problem on atmospheric sound propagation over irregular terrain has been solved using a stable fourth-order accurate nite di erence approximation of a highdelity acoustic model. A comparison with the parabolic equation method and ray tracing methods is made. The results show that ray tracing methods can potentially be unreliable in the presence of irregular terrain.
متن کاملUHF white space in Europe – a quantitative study into the potential of the 470–790 MHz band
In this paper we study the availability of TV white spaces in Europe. We focus specifically on the 470–790 MHz UHF band that is still predominantly used for TV broadcasting also after the digital dividend (frequency reallocation as part of transition to digital TV), which has taken place or is ongoing in several European countries. We find that in the countries used in our studies, approximatel...
