A17.5.3 Attenuation due to diffraction
According to ITU-R Rec. P.526-2, the diffraction loss Lp (d) can be derived by the received field strength E referred to the free space E0 :
Loading
(Eq. 220)with:
Loading
is the normalized radio path between transmitter and receiver Loading
Loading
is the normalized antenna height of the transmitter Loading
Loading
is the normalized antenna height of the receiverwhere:
Loading
is a parameter derived from the earth admittance factor K: Loading
=1 for Loading
> 20 MHz.Loading
is the frequency in MHzLoading
is the equivalent earth radius in km (definition see below)Loading
is the distance in kmLoading
is the antenna height above ground in m with =1 or 2 for the transmitter or receiver, respectivelyThe distance-dependent term
Loading
is given by the semi-empirical formula:
Loading
(Eq. 221)The antenna height gain
Loading
is given by the formula set:(Eq. 222)

Loading
is the normalized earth surface admittance factor (see ITU-R Rec. P.526), default value 10e-5:
All frequencies used attenuation due to diffraction have the unit MHz in contrast to the attenuation due to atmosphere where GHz is applied.
