Abstract :
A hybrid method of moments/finite difference time domain (MoM/FDTD) code is developed to provide path loss calculations for simple terrain models. The results are compared with those from standard UHF/VHF propagation models used for irregular terrain. Procedures and validation efforts are discussed.
