Abstract :
The uniform theory of diffraction (UTD) is extended to multiple cylinder structures by introducing a new formulation of the UTD diffraction coefficients in cooperation with a slope diffraction term for maximum accuracy in the electromagnetic modelling. The solution is, then, applicable to radiowave paths where mountains, hills or other rounded objects are the main cause of electromagnetic diffraction.
