Research on mobile communication radio propagation characteristic based on 3DPE

In this paper, a macrocell radio propagation model for mobile communication is established based on three-dimensional parabolic equation (3DPE). The loss characteristics of radio propagation around buildings are calculated by using this 3DPE model when buildings distributing differently on flat ground or irregular terrain. The results are compared with the physical optics (PO) method and three-dimensional Ray tracing method. The compare shows the 3DPE model is accurate and valid. So it provides an excellent propagation prediction model for mobile communication.
