Propagation Modeling

Abstract

We develop parabolic equation, ray optics, waveguide, and other models as necessary to produce both accurate and efficient models to be used in propagation assessment systems. In many cases we can use variations of existing models to achieve this goal, but sometimes completely new models are necessary. Once developed, these models are compared to other models and to experimentally collected propagation data for verification of accuracy. We stay abreast of other researchers newest models by reading current literature, participating in propagation workshops, and attending conferences as appropriate. We continually examine new modeling techniques that may offer improvements in prediction accuracy or execution time.
