A Hybrid Model for Path Loss Estimation in Avenue Environment
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
Diverse propagation mechanisms complicate propagation analysis and modeling for a foliage condition. Therefore, a simpler optimized hybrid propagation model, which maintains or improves accuracy but preserves a cooperative relationship with physics, would be insightful. We evaluate an approach for developing a radio-wave propagation prediction model in an avenue area by combining the path loss in free space and environment parameters. It is demonstrated that this two-mechanism hybrid model can provide an accurate fit to the profile of through forest propagation over a long distance, which is impossible with the definitive radiative energy transfer model. The predicted model results were validated using radio-wave propagation in the FM band measurement data.
