Tropospheric radio wave propagation modeling in Python 3 using PyWaveProp

This paper presents PyWaveProp, a library for wave propagation modeling, and highlights its application features in tropospheric radio wave propagation. The one-way Helmholtz equation method is utilized, enabling simultaneous modeling of arbitrary antennas, terrain irregularities, tropospheric refractive index, and vegetation. High-order finite-difference approximations are employed for numerical solutions, ensuring both high speed and precision in computations. The library automatically calculates artificial numerical scheme parameters, making it suitable for a broad range of problems.
