The invention discloses a maximum multipath time
delay calculation method based on propagation
path length in an offshore
sight distance range. The method comprises the following steps: when an electric wave for communication between a first ship and a second ship is propagated through a
direct path, obtaining the length of the
direct path for propagation of the electric wave within a seaborne
sight distance range based on the height of a transmitting antenna, the height of a receiving antenna and the distance between the first ship and the second ship. The method solves the problems that in an existing marine
sight distance communication scene, due to the fact that signals of a transmitting end reach a receiving end through a
direct path and multiple reflection paths, the lengths of all the paths are different, the time for the signals to reach the receiving end is different, multi-path time
delay is generated, large multi-path time
delay will cause inter-symbol interference, and the communication performance is poor. The
signal quality of a receiving end is reduced, the
bit error rate is increased, and the
system performance is further reduced.
