Abstract
The present contribution describes algorithms for the numerical solution of an integral equation which models diffraction effects due to irregular terrain on the propagation of radio waves. An algorithm based on the Method of Moments which takes full consideration of backscattering effects will be proposed. Corresponding results from the described algorithms will be presented and compared among themselves, as well as with associated experimental data.
