Radio wave propagation prediction is very important for the design of the mobile communication network. The raytracing algorithm is a commonly used computational method for site-specific prediction of the radio channel characteristics of wireless communication systems. However, it does not consider the diffuse scattering. Therefore, an indoor diffuse scattering model which based on diffuse scattering theory and FDTD is established. The diffuse scattering of indoor walls and ceiling and floor is calculated at a series of discrete time instance in this method. In recent years, the compute unified device architecture (CUDA) of NVIDIA takes advantage of the GPU for parallel computing, and greatly improve the speed of computation. Because there is a large number of data to deal with, in order to reduce the computation time, a GPU-based diffuse scattering model for indoor radio prediction is introduced in this paper, which fully utilizes the parallel processing capabilities of CUDA to further improve the computational efficiency. It can be found that good acceleration effect has been achieved.
The partial null interferometric aspheric testing technique, based on the Twyman-Green interferometer system, is very
useful and of good versatility. In this technique, the under-test aspheric needs to be located precisely. Taking advantage of ray tracing and digital image processing technique, a new method to locate aspheric is proposed. Firstly, model and simulate the Twyman-Green interferometer system in the ray tracing software ZEMAX, find an optimal test position and generate an optimal referenced interferogram. Record the interferogram and make it a target for the experimental interferogram to achieve. At the same time, an experimental interferogram can be obtained by building the same testing system experimentally. Process the one-dimensional gray scale data in X-axis of the two interferograms, two curves, indicating the black and white change of the interference fringes, are obtained. By comparing the normalized X coordinates of the peaks of the two curves, we can determine whether the under-test aspheric is positioned well. In order to locate the aspheric precisely, the aspheric has to be moved repeatedly to get a perfect interferogram whose peaks of interference fringes match well with those of the target interferogram. An experiment for testing a paraboloid with diameter 100mm and asphericity 50μm is carried out. The result shows that this kind of locating method has an Accuracy of 3-5μm, which demonstrates that the method is practicable and high-precision.
