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:

    It is by a mathematical point only that we are wise, as the sailor or the fugitive slave keeps the polestar in his eye; but that is sufficient guidance for all our life. We may not arrive at our port within a calculable period, but we would preserve the true course.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
