Abstract
A novel non-line-of-sight ultraviolet single-scatter path loss model for coplanar geometries is proposed on the basis of spherical coordinate system. In comparison with the classical single-scatter analytical model based on the prolate-spheroidal coordinate system, it is of a simple integral form which only depends on the variables of the zenith and receiver elevation angles. Additionally, analytical approximation for the proposed single-scatter path loss model is presented. Numerical examples on path loss are presented for various system geometries. Correspondingly, the results are verified with the classical single-scatter analytical model, which demonstrates the validity of our path loss model and the reasonability of the analytical approximation.
