Single Vegetative Obstruction Model - Mathematical Formulations

Mathematical Formulations

The single vegetative obstruction model is formally expressed as,

where, A = The Attenuation due to vegetation. Unit: decibel(dB).

d = Depth of foliage. Unit: Meter (m).

= Specific attenuation for short vegetative paths. Unit: decibel per meter (dB/m).

Ri = The initial slope of the attenuation curve.

Rf = The final slope of the attenuation curve.

f = The frequency of operations. Unit: gigahertz (GHz).

k = Empirical constant.

Famous quotes containing the word mathematical:

    An accurate charting of the American woman’s progress through history might look more like a corkscrew tilted slightly to one side, its loops inching closer to the line of freedom with the passage of time—but like a mathematical curve approaching infinity, never touching its goal. . . . Each time, the spiral turns her back just short of the finish line.
    Susan Faludi (20th century)
