A New Ray-tracing Based Wave Propagation Model including Rough Surfaces Scattering
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a complete ray-tracing based model which takes into account scattering from rough surfaces in indoor environments. The proposed model relies on a combination between computer graphics and radar techniques. The paths between the transmitter and the receiver are found thanks to a Bi-Directional Path-Tracing algorithm, and the scattering field after each interaction between the electromagnetic wave and the environment is computed according to the Kirchhoff Approximation. This propagation model is implemented as a plug-in in an existing full 3-D ray-tracing software. Thus, we compare the results of classical ray-tracing with those of our model to study the influence of the scattering phenomenon on the wave propagation in typical indoor environments.

Gabor-based Gaussian beam (GB) algorithms, in conjunction with the complex source point (CSP) method for generating beam-like wave objects, have found application in a variety of high-frequency wave propagation and diffraction scenarios. Of special interest for efficient numerical implementation is the noncollimated narrow-waisted species of GB, which reduces the computationally intensive compl...

The laser absorptance of rough surfaces has been investigated by using Monte Carlo simulations based on three-dimensional 3D ray tracing. The influence of multiple scattering, shadowing, and the Fresnel-equation based angle dependence is discussed. The 3D results are compared to previously published results from a two-dimensional ray-tracing analysis and the different applications of the two mo...

متن کاملSommerfeld and Zenneck Wave Propagation for a Finitely Conducting One-Dimensional Rough Surface
Starting with Zenneck and Sommerfeld wave propagation over a flat finitely conducting surface has been extensively studied by Wait and many other authors. In this paper, we examine propagation over a finitely conducting rough surface, also studied by many people including Feinberg, Bass, Fuks, and Barrick. This paper extends the multiple scattering theories based on Dyson and Bethe–Salpeter equ...
