A ray trace program for line-of-sight microwave communication links
Abstract
A ray trace program tailored to Line-of-Sight (LOS) communication links is described. The principal products of the program are the following: (1) a ray trace diagram, (2) a time of arrival plot, and (3) an angle of arrival plot. The ray trace allows for a complex terrain, multiple meteorological profiles, and has options for the type of reflection to be used.
