Abstract:

A ray trace program tailored to Line-of-Sight LOS communication links is described. The principal products of the program are the following 1 a ray trace diagram, 2 a time of arrival plot, and 3 an angle of arrival plot. The ray trace allows for a complex terrain, multiple meteorological profiles, and has options for the type of reflection to be used. Keywords include Atmospheric propagation, Microwave communication, and Ray tracing.
