The invention belongs to the technical field of
radio wave propagation, and particularly discloses a rugged
topography path low-frequency ground
wave propagation characteristic prediction method based on an FD
algorithm, and the method comprises the steps: firstly building a 3DPE model under an irregular
topography, then building a
discretization matrix equation, combining boundary impedance conditions based on a unilateral approximation method, and then carrying out the iteration solving of a field matrix, thereby achieving the prediction of the rugged
topography path low-frequency ground
wave propagation characteristic. And finally, the
magnetic field intensity and the secondary time
delay of
radio wave propagation are solved by utilizing a field result in the whole calculation area. According to the method, the problem that low-frequency ground
wave propagation characteristics are not accurately represented in transverse irregular
terrain modeling through a 2DPE method is effectively solved, and meanwhile, the limitation that low-frequency ground wave propagation prediction precision is insufficient in a complex rugged
terrain environment through a traditional 3DPE model is overcome; theoretical guidance can be provided for performance optimization of a low-frequency
radio navigation time
service system, and the navigation positioning and time service precision in a complex
terrain area is further improved.
