A Modified Two-Ray Model with UTD and Atmospheric Effects: Analysis of Reflected Ray Over Sloping Terrain

This paper introduces preliminary results about a novelty formulation to calculate the first reflection over a sloping terrain for a Modified Two-ray model with atmospheric effects. For a case study of a lossy wedge and standard atmosphere conditions, the obtained results through the proposed formulation and the Discrete Mixed Fourier Transform (DMFT) numerical solution are compared, in order to validate the presented approach. The early results showed similar behavior for path loss, in this canonical scenario.
