Abstract
We investigate whether a Gaussian initial field approximation is adequate for use in a split-step parabolic equation-based propagation model. Of particular interest is the case when the model is used to predict the propagation loss to areas that are off-angle from the transmit antenna’s main lobe. We discuss the advantage of using a realistic initial field condition instead.
