Please explain the purpose of operation: |
The purpose of the ground to ground propagation measurements is to validate an hybrid model that uses the forest, TIREM, and urban models to predict clutter loss in an environment. The validation will use raw clutter data captured from the measurements collected in each Land Use/Land Cover (LULC) classification along with handoffs to different LULCs, resulting in a total of 36 test scenarios. The numerous scenarios will be tested across the following cities; Baltimore, MD, San Francisco, CA, Denver, CO, and Chicago, IL.
The ground to ground propagation measurement will consist of a transmitter and receiver system that will be mounted and operational in two automobiles, respectively. |
