Abstract
This paper presents a new hybrid geometrical
optics (GO) and radiance based rough surface scattering model for use in ray tracing propagation models. The reflectance model
includes the effects of both specular and diffuse reflection. The specular component is modelled using GO Fresnel reflections,
while the diffuse components are modelled using radiance reflectance. The hybrid scattering model is then developed and
implemented within an existing three-dimensional microcellular
ray tracing model. Comparisons of predicted path loss and rms delay spread are made at 1.92 GHz using site specific measurements in an urban environment. The results demonstrate
that scattering can be an important mechanism at this frequency. Significant improvements in prediction accuracy are demonstrated with the new hybrid scattering model.
