Numerical Simulation of Radio Wave Propagation in a Forest Environment Using the Constructor of Individual Trees

Abstract

This article provides an overview of the existing mathematical models of the forest. A review of methods for calculating of radio wave propagation in different forest models is given. A forest constructor has been developed, based on the determination of the refractive index in the medium, then using which the electromagnetic field is calculated using the parabolic equation method. Verification of the obtained field attenuation in the resulting constructor with the case of propagation of an electromagnetic field in the condition of a layered model was carried out.
