The invention discloses a method for detecting surface
waveguide dead zone information based on
ray tracing. The method includes the following steps that modified
refractive index profile data are obtained; the calculating range including the maximum spreading distance, the largest spreading height, the height stepping value, the transmitting antenna height, the transmitting antenna initial transmitting elevation and the
ray elevation interval is determined, whether rays are tracked or not is judged; the rays are tracked according to the second-order Taylor approximation mode of the Snell law, and the spreading track of each
ray is obtained; whether the rays conforming to the tracking conditions are trapped or not is judged, the rays are classified, and discrete data of the rays which are transmitted out are extracted; initial position parameters of a
waveguide top dead zone are obtained; the area of the surface
waveguide top dead zone is calculated. According to the method for detecting the surface waveguide dead zone information based on ray tracing, a ray tracking method is introduced to judge and classify the
radio wave rays, extracting and data
discretization are conducted, the initial position and range of the dead zone are simply, visually and accurately obtained, the complexity of a dead zone calculating model is lowered, and therefore the area of the
convection zone surface waveguide dead zone is fast calculated.
