Comparison and analyzing of propagation models with respect to material, environmental and wave properties

This paper presents a study on a class of algorithms based on Uniform Theory of Diffraction (UTD) for multiple diffractions. Within this context Slope UTD with Convex Hull (S-UTD-CH) model based on Slope UTD and Fresnel zone concept was reviewed. S-UTD-CH model can be used for fast and more accurate field prediction for multiple diffractions in transition zone. An extensive simulation results for comparison of UTD based algorithms with respect to the computation time and accuracy was provided. Furthermore, the study shows how relative permittivity constant, conductivity and inner angle of wedge and polarization type affect the relative path loss.
