Geometrical Theory of Diffraction The extension of GO to the category of diffracted rays was first introduced by J.B.Keller in 1961 and is based on the following assumptionst61: I.A diffracted ray is generated whenever a ray impinges on an edge (or on a vertex) II.For every diffracted ray the Fermat's principle holds Diffraction law:the angles between incident diffracted ray and the edge satisfy "Snell's law applied to diffraction": Keller's nsine;=na.sined cone If the rays are in the same material then:00 Therefore diffracted rays ouside the wedge belong to the Keller's cone Incident ray
The extension of GO to the category of diffracted rays was first introduced by J. B. Keller in 1961 and is based on the following assumptions[6] : I. A diffracted ray is generated whenever a ray impinges on an edge (or on a vertex) II. For every diffracted ray the Fermat’s principle holds Incident ray Keller’s cone Diffraction law: the angles between incident / diffracted ray and the edge satisfy “Snell’s law applied to diffraction”: If the rays are in the same material then: θd=θi; Therefore diffracted rays ouside the wedge belong to the Keller’s cone ni sin i nd sinθd ⋅ θ = ⋅ Geometrical Theory of Diffraction θd θi
The diffracted ray (1/3) In urban propagation only straight edges (local field principle)are of interest.Vertex diffraction won't be treated here Q edge vertex If the impinging wave is plane (or can be approximated so for the local field principle)then the diffracted wave is cylindrical for wedge perpendicular incidence (-0;/2)and conical for oblique incidence (the wavefront is a cone)[7] The diffracted wave is so that one caustic coincides with the edge.Therefore the divergence factor of the diffracted wave/ray is different from that of the incident wave/ray(see further on) The diffracted ray field can be computed by solving Maxwell's equations for a plane cylindrical or spherical wave incident on a straight conducting edge [7,8,9]and somehow subtracting from the solution the incident wave and the reflected wave(s) Then the diffracted field is expanded in a Luneberg-Kline series from which only the first term (high frequency approx.)is kept in order to derive the diffraction coefficients V.Degli-Esposti,"Propagazione e pianificazione nei sistemi d'area
V. Degli-Esposti, “Propagazione e pianificazione nei sistemi d’area” • In urban propagation only straight edges (local field principle) are of interest. Vertex diffraction won’t be treated here • If the impinging wave is plane (or can be approximated so for the local field principle) then the diffracted wave is cylindrical for perpendicular incidence (θd=θi =π/2) and conical for oblique incidence (the wavefront is a cone) [7] P D QD edge The diffracted ray (1/3) • The diffracted wave is so that one caustic coincides with the edge. Therefore the divergence factor of the diffracted wave/ray is different from that of the incident wave/ray (see further on) • The diffracted ray field can be computed by solving Maxwell’s equations for a plane , cylindrical or spherical wave incident on a straight conducting edge [7, 8, 9] and somehow subtracting from the solution the incident wave and the reflected wave(s). • Then the diffracted field is expanded in a Luneberg-Kline series from which only the first term (high frequency approx.) is kept in order to derive the diffraction coefficients S
