Analysis of amplitude and slope diffraction coeficients

The diffraction mechanism is used for field prediction in both light and shadowed regions. Slope and amplitude diffraction coeficients are vital to predict the field strength at the receiver accurately. In this paper, amplitude and slope diffraction coefficients for one of the ray theoretical models, the slope uniform theory of diffraction with convex hull (S-UTD-CH) model, are analyzed. Moreover, diffraction coefficients are given for knife-edge and wedge structures.
