Abstract :
A simple ray tracing model for a mobile station received field intensity in a forested environment is proposed. To validate the model a propagation measurement campaign was carried out where a mobile laboratory was driven through a route surrounded by forest. The results of this measurement campaign are compared with the proposed model to shown how well the model can predict the field intensity behavior. Results of field depolarization are also reported
