Modeling of Electromagnetic Wave Propagation and Its Applicationin Virtual Test

With the development of virtual test, the computation of the effect of different weather conditions on electromagnetic wave propagation is required in many simulation systems. Firstly, this paper presents a unique point of view for computing the electromagnetic wave attenuation ratio under different weather conditions by means of an independent electromagnetic wave propagation component that can be directly implemented in virtual test, and is easy to configure and easy to reuse. We present an analysis of the principles of electromagnetic wave propagation and the algorithms designed for realization of various propagation models within the electromagnetic wave propagation component. Secondly, this paper presents a use-case analysis and outlines the design of the component, verifies the developed models under various weather conditions, and obtains equivalent values as those obtained theoretically. Finally, we build a virtual test system, verify the system in different weather conditions, and again obtain equivalent values to those obtained theoretically. The algorithms in the electromagnetic wave propagation component are developed in the C language, which substantially improves the computational speed, and meets the real-time requirements of the virtual testing platform.
