Abstract :
An irregular terrain propagation model based on ray optics is developed. The model consist of modeling the terrain by round earth plateaus, slant flat plateaus, convex and concave plateaus between hills and depression. Multiple hill top diffraction combined with reflections from plateaus are considered.
