Calculation of wanted signal (dRSS)
The flow of calculation of each one sample of the dRSS signal is the following:
Note:: if the user has selected a user-defined dRSS value/distribution in the scenario, the following dRSS calculation routine is skipped and programme proceeds to calculating iRSS signal.
- Trial of random parameters for the Wanted Transmitter (WT)
- power supplied:
- antenna height:
- power supplied:
- Trial of random parameters for the Victim Receiver (VR)
- frequency: fvr
- antenna height:
- Calculation of transceivers relative location for WT-VR path
- Calculation of antenna azimuth and elevations angles for WT-VR path
- Calculation of antenna gains for WT and VR antennas depending on their mutual pointing on the WT-VR path
- Calculation of propagation loss for WT-VR path
- At last, calculation of dRSS link budget is carried out according the following formula:
