Abstract :
This paper presents the application of the split-step Fourier transform parabolic equation to propagation modelling in urban scenarios with respect to complex boundary conditions modelling. Impedance boundary modelling is achieved using a domain decomposition algorithm enabling individual impedance boundaries to be treated using mixed sine and cosine transform. Simulation results for several two-dimensional scenarios are shown. The results obtained are compared with geometrical optics/UTD.
