A Tool: Coverage Mapping with Direct and Reflected Rays from Lossy and Lossless Surfaces

Abstract

Coverage mapping is very important to install high quality, reliable and time-efficient communication systems. In order to work properly, the threshold electric field strength and/or power have to be provided For high quality service, reliable and time-efficient systems direct, reflected, diffracted and refracted rays have to be determined and total electric field resulted from these rays calculated. In this paper, direct and reflected rays from lossy and lossless surfaces are determined by a program developed and some simulation results are given carried on developed program and FEKO software.
