Variable undefined.

"Ground Reflection

  (with no subscript) is never defined. I'm guessing one of the values given is for the horizontally polarised case and the other for the vertically polarised case but nowhere is this spelt out. Furthermore   is never defined. Plugwash (talk) 13:39, 9 April 2014 (UTC)Reply
  is the vertically polarised component of the reflection and   is the horizontally polarised component.   is the relative permittivity of the ground. This was all in the original text I'm afraid. My edits just made the derivation work; I haven't gone back and corrected or improved some of the basic equations, or specified the missing variables. Any help on this is much appreciated!

  is the antenna gain. As far as I understand Rappaport it's not so much a matter of    , but rather   (transmitter)  (receiver). @Plugwash: Should we just fix this? Currently it's rather wrong. CMorty (talk) 10:57, 24 March 2015 (UTC)Reply
  is the gain of the antennas (combined transmitter and receiver gains) in the direction of the line-of-sight (LOS) path and   is the combined antenna gains in the direction of the ground reflection (GR) path. Eventually we assume for the long distances (relative to antenna mast heights above the ground) the gains are approximately equal, therefore,  . Derekjc (talk) 09:58, 27 July 2016 (UTC)Reply

mathematical derivation

edit

Mathematical derivation does not appear exactly in Rappaport's or Jake's reference even though it is referred. Could someone please give the correct reference for mathematical derivation? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 125.168.4.243 (talk) 04:15, 14 June 2018 (UTC)Reply

Ground properties

It might be a great idea to also write about how the material the surface at the reflection point is made of will affect the formula. 2003:CA:9F0C:70F4:C0BB:6DEA:A5D6:EA63 (talk) 20:49, 19 November 2021 (UTC)Reply
