Huygen’s Principle & Diffraction
All points on a wavefront can be considered as point sources for the production of secondary wavelets. These wavelets combine to produce a new wavefront in the direction of propagation.

Fresnel Zones
From “Wireless Communications: Principles and Practice” T.S. Rappaport
Fresnel Zones:
Successive regions where secondary waves have a path length from the transmitter to receiver which is nλ/2 greater than the total path length of a line-of-sight path

Knife-Edge Diffraction Model
The field strength at point Rx located in the shadowed region is a vector sum of the fields due to all of the secondary Huygen’s sources in the plane above the knife-edge
Electric Field Strength, Ed, of a Knife-Edge Diffracted Wave is given By:
E0: Free-Space Field Strength in absence of Ground Reflection and Knife-Edge DiffractionF(ν) is called the complex Fresnel Integral

Multiple Knife-Edge Diffraction

In the practical situations, especially in hilly terrain, the propagation path may consist of more than one obstruction.
Optimistic solution (by Bullington): The series of obstacles are replaced by a single equivalent obstacle so that the path loss can be obtained using single knife-edge diffraction models.
