The two-rays ground-reflection model is a multipath radio propagation model which predicts the path losses between a transmitting antenna and a receiving antenna when they are in line of sight (LOS). Generally, the two antenna each have different height. The received signal having two components, the LOS component and the reflection component formed predominantly by a single ground reflected wave.
1) Direct Path: A direct line-of-sight path between the transmitter and receiver antennas. 2) Reflected path: The path through which the signal reflects off the ground before reaching the receiver.
