Raytrace Technique for a Laterally Heterogeneous Environment - Software Document
Abstract
Electromagnetic (EM) wave propagation is the transmission of an EM wave between a transmitter and a receiver. If a particular point on the wave front is followed over time, the collection of point positions would define a ray. The ray would coincide with a line from the transmitter to the receiver. The purpose of this raytrace technique is to describe an EM wave's path in terms of rays, as the wave propagates through a laterally heterogeneous medium where the index of refraction is allowed to vary both vertically and horizontally.
