loss_troposcatter

pycraf.pathprof.loss_troposcatter(pathprop, G_t=<Decibel 0. dB>, G_r=<Decibel 0. dB>)

Calculate the tropospheric scatter loss, L_bs, of a propagating radio wave according to ITU-R P.452-16 Eq (45).

Parameters:

pathpropPathProp instance

This helper class works as a container to hold various properties of the path (e.g., geometry).

G_t, G_rQuantity

Antenna gain (transmitter, receiver) in the direction of the horizon(!) along the great-circle interference path [dBi]

Returns:

L_bsQuantity

Tropospheric scatter loss [dB]
