Detailed Description

a Two-Ray Ground propagation loss model ported from NS2

Two-ray ground reflection model.

$ Pr = \frac{P_t * G_t * G_r * (H_t^2 * H_r^2)}{d^4 * L} $

The original equation in Rappaport's book assumes L = 1. To be consistent with the free space equation, L is added here.

Ht and Hr are set at the respective nodes z coordinate plus a model parameter set via SetHeightAboveZ.

The two-ray model does not give a good result for short distances, due to the oscillation caused by constructive and destructive combination of the two rays. Instead the Friis free-space model is used for small distances.

The crossover distance, below which Friis is used, is calculated as follows:

$ dCross = \frac{(4 * \pi * H_t * H_r)}{\lambda} $

In the implementation, $ \lambda $ is calculated as $ \frac{C}{f} $, where $ C = 299792458$ m/s is the speed of light in vacuum, and $ f $ is the frequency in Hz which can be configured by the user via the Frequency attribute.
