Regression models of ultra wideband ground reflection path loss based on peak power loss

Abstract

In this paper, the regression models of ultra wideband (UWB) ground reflection path loss are proposed. The UWB ground reflection path loss is defined as the ratio between the maximum amplitude of the transmitted and received signal waveforms. The polarizations of transmitted signal and ground characteristics are considered. The double and triple linear regression models are derived from the closed form expression of ground reflection path loss based on peak power loss. The regression models are shown and compared with the closed form expression. From the results, the double and triple linear regression models are appropriate for conductor and dielectric grounds, respectively. Therefore, these proposed regression models are the one choice for modeling the UWB ground reflection path loss. ©2007 IEEE.
