The invention discloses an
evaporation waveguide and
scattering channel multipath time
delay calculation method under different elevation angles, and the method comprises the steps: determining the length of a propagation path in an
evaporation waveguide channel according to the
radius of the earth and a central angle corresponding to the
arc length of the propagation path in the
evaporation waveguide channel; obtaining the propagation
path length of the electric wave in the
troposphere scattering channel according to the included angle between the connecting lines of the transmitting antenna and the circle center, the
elevation angle of the transmitting antenna and the receiving antenna, the included angle between the connecting lines of the electric wave receiving antenna and the circle center, and the
elevation angle of the transmitting antenna and the receiving antenna; then calculating to obtain the multipath time
delay of the mixed channel; and setting a code element interval of
radio wave communication according to the multipath time
delay, so that the
radio wave communication adapts to switching of communication
modes. According to the calculation expression of the multipath time delay of the mixed channel, which is obtained by the invention, the multipath time delay of the evaporation waveguide and
troposphere scattering mixed channel can be quickly calculated; code element intervals of
radio wave communication are set according to multipath time delay, inter-symbol interference is avoided, and the
bit error rate is reduced.
