PATTERN PROPAGATION ABOVE A CURVED EARTH IN THE INTERFERENCE REGION

Abstract

An analysis of the coverage pattern of trans mitting equipment in the interference region re quires a solution to the geometrical ray con figuration which is valid within the effective line-of-sight of the transmitter. The limiting parameter on the accuracy required in the analysis is quite high for relatively short wave lengths of transmitted signal. The effects of the atmosphere and physical irregularities will be shown to modify an assumed geometric con figuration. In addition, the results of the analysis will be shown solvable on a digital computer. The techniques of the solution will be indicated.
