Geometrical theory of propagation (ID) Geometrical theory of propagation is an extension of Geometrical Optics, (GO)but is not limited to optical frequencies Like GO,it corresponds to an asymptotic,high-frequency approximation of basic electromagnetic theory,and is based on the concept of ray Since GO does not account for diffraction,then diffraction is introduced through an extension called Geometrical Theory of Diffraction(GTD) The combination of GO and GTD,applied to radio wave propagation may be called Geometrical Theory of Propagation(GTP) GTP is the base of deterministic,ray-based propagation models(ray-tracing etc.)

Wavefront A wavefront is a locus where the field has constant phase e.g: E.0.)-F.(. Therefore the wavefront is defined by: arg(Eos)-Br=- If r is large and arg(E)is limited we have arg(Er)-Br≈-Br=-p→r= Therefore the wavefront is a spherical surface in our case.That's why it's called"spherical wave
Wavefront r Tx Ex (r,θ,ϕ) = E0 x (θ,ϕ) e− jβr r = E0 x r ej(arg(E0 x )−βr) A wavefront is a locus where the field has constant phase Therefore the wavefront is defined by: arg(E0 x ) − βr = −ϕ If r is large and arg(E0x) is limited we have arg(E0 x ) − βr ≈ −βr = −ϕ ⇒ r = ϕ β Therefore the wavefront is a spherical surface in our case. That’s why it’s called “spherical wave”. e.g:
