Abstract

In the article a modified UTD method for determining propagation losses in the big-city area has been presented. Modification of this method consists in using a model of physical geometry of wave propagation and using patterns occurring in the UTD method for reflection coefficients and diffraction of waves at corners. Calculation of resultant field takes place with the use of the superposition method. On the basis of the conducted analysis calculation algorithm has been suggested and sample calculations have been presented.
