A deterministic propagation model for the rough earth
Abstract
The paper presents a deterministic mathematical model for the point-by-point prediction of the field generated by radio wave propagation (at frequencies above 20 MHz) over the rough earth, with consideration of all radio paths associated with surface discontinuities. The model takes account of the ground component, Fresnel and obstructed paths, the tropospheric component; studies the effects of diffraction, refraction, and reflection; and gives formulas for the terminal field and the reflection coefficient.
