Abstract :
This work presents a novel heuristic coefficient for the uniform theory of diffraction, suited to characterize radio channels. The new coefficient combines features from two previously proposed heuristic coefficients. The diffraction by a conducting wedge is investigated in order to demonstrate the usefulness of the proposed coefficient
