Coverage Prediction for Double Diffraction Scenarios

Abstract

Prediction of coverage is very important in order to increase QoS and determine blind spot in communication systems. Obstructions in the scenarios can block the rays emanating from the transmitter and reaching on the receiver. UTD model can be used to determine whether threshold electric field on the receiver is provided or not. In this study, double diffraction coefficient and spreading factors are derivated and it is used in electric field strength calculation. In addition, some comparisons are made by FEKO electromagnetic solver software.
