Effect of canopy-air interface roughness on HF-VHF wave propagation in forest.

Effect of canopy-air interface roughness on HF-VHF wave propagation in forest.

The problem of electromagnetic wave propagation in a realistic forest environment in the high-frequency and very high-frequency bands is considered. In particular, the effect of the nonplanar interface between the air and the canopy, which has been ignored in previous models, is examined. An analyti...
