Building corner diffraction measurements and predictions using UTD

Measurements of the electric field in the vicinity of the corner of a stone building are presented. The experimental results are compared to theoretical predictions using the uniform theory of diffraction (UTD) for dielectric wedges and simple specular ground reflections. The comparison of the two results show close agreement indicating that UTD is a viable approach for predicting the diffracted field around building corners in applications such as propagation modeling for communications systems operating in urban environments
