RESTORATION OF THE RET PHASE FUNCTION USING DECONVOLUTION
Huajian Cui
Outline
• Why Deconvolution and ill-posed problems
• Methods and results
• Methods of measurements
• Brief introduction to the RET theory
Background of the research
• It is important to accurately predict excess loss when radio waves propagating through vegetation for Radiowave channel planner such as Ofcom
• Following a 15-month project to develop a generic model of 1-60 GHz narrowband radio signal attenuation in vegetation, Oct. 2002
• A contract between the UK Radiocommunications Agency (RA) an a QinetiQ-led consortium comprised of QinetiQ, the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL), and the Universities of Portsmouth and Glamorgan
Convolution Distortion
• The received signal can be obtained by summing the arriving scattered radio waves from all directions with appropriate weighting

Deconvolution
• Deconvolution is the inverse operation of the convolution
• Convolution theorem y(t) = x(t) * h(t) (1) Y(w) = X(w)H(w) (2) H(w)=Y(w)/X(w) (3)
• In practical applications, the deconvolution problem is
mathematically classified as an ill-posed problem. The cause of the
“ill-posed problems” occurring is that the information represented by
the data (sequences) or the equations (continuous functions) are
incomplete
Cause of the ill-posed problems
• Inaccuracy of sampling or digitisation and data acquisition process
• Natural variability of the signal• Always present random noise
Deconvolution Methodology
• The optimum compensation iterative deconvolution
• The automated regularisation iterative deconvolution

Deconvolution Results
The RET Modelling
The Radiative Energy Transfer Theory is an theoretical model utilised to predict the
excess attenuation and directional spectra while radio waves propagating through
vegetation. It can be expressed as follow:
