Abstract

In this paper, Recommendation ITU-R P.526-13 rounded edge diffraction loss method is used to determine the diffraction loss over a double edged hilltop in the path of 6 GHz C-band microwave signal. The computation is based on the path profile with path length of 6188.665 m. The path profile has maximum elevation of 412.75 m and it occurred at a distance of 2877.3 m from the transmitter. The line of sight clearance height is 35.393521m and occultation distance is 532.203m. The diffraction loss computed for the double edged hilltop using the Recommendation ITU-R P.526-13 model is 42.563065 dB.
