Models and Predictions of Scattered Radio Waves on Rough Surfaces

• Scattering of radio waves on rough surfaces is investigated using ray tracing techniques, which results in a sinusoidal model with time varying amplitudes. An AR(d) model with nonzero mean is proposed to characterize and predict the time variation of the amplitudes. A covariance sequence based method is proposed to estimate the autoregressive coefficients from the channel observations. An adaptive channel predictor using a Kalman filter is proposed to predict the complex amplitudes of the scattering signal. The proposed method outperforms other sinusoidal modeling based channel predictors and Linear Predictors with single scattering scenarios.
