SSPE Method Including Backward Term for an EM Propagation Real Case Study

This paper presents the addition of the Backward term in a Split Step Parabolic Equation (SSPE) algorithm to estimate radiofrequency coverage in a realistic and lossy terrain. In order to evaluate the accuracy of the PE model, results of measurement campaigns and Method of Moments (MoM) were used. This article has preliminary results that will motivate tests in higher frequencies where the presence of Backward Term can be more appreciated.
