The invention provides a
troposphere minimum scattering angle calculation method based on an earth
reference ellipsoid, and the method comprises the steps: constructing a
troposphere scattering path geometrical relationship, and calculating a spherical distance between a transmitting antenna and a receiving antenna; calculating the prime circle curvature
radius of the earth
reference ellipsoid at the
latitude of the transmitting antenna and the
latitude of the receiving antenna, the spherical distance between the highest obstacle of the transmitting antenna and the transmitting antenna, the included angle between the connecting line of the transmitting antenna and the receiving antenna and the transmitting
view plane, and the spherical distance between the highest obstacle of the receiving antenna and the receiving antenna; and the included angle between the antenna connecting line and the receiving
view plane line is received, so that the minimum
troposphere scattering angle is calculated. According to the method, the geometrical relationship of the troposphere scattering path is constructed through the geodetic coordinates of the transmitting antenna, the receiving antenna and the electric wave
ray encountering the highest obstacle, the
mathematical model for calculating the minimum scattering angle of the troposphere is provided, the troposphere scattering
signal transmission requirement is better met, and accurate calculation of the minimum scattering angle of the troposphere can be achieved.
