Abstract
The existing ultraviolet (UV) single scattering models do not incorporate the applicability of transceiver geometry, which makes them have certain errors even in short-range cases. To solve this issue, we propose a single scattering model in this Letter, which is suitable for the case where the transceiver field of view is above ground. This meets the requirements of general UV communication. For tractable analysis, we utilize the number of intersections between special rays on a transceiver cone to classify communication scenarios. Calculation results show that when the transceiver elevation angle exceeds certain values, the path loss difference between the single scattering model and Monte Carlo simulation model increases rapidly, which implies that single scattering approximation is not applicable to these conditions even in short-range cases. This work presents a new way to obtain the path loss of the UV channel and provides guidelines for experimental system design.Funding Information
