h2corr.m

% H2CORR        ITU 1546-1 Field strength calculator
%               Calculate correction in dB for receiver antenna height different from standard.
%
% corr = h2corr(h2,f,env,d,h1,R)
%	h2 : reciever antenna height above ground (may be a vector)
%	f  : frequency in MHz
%	env: environment, sets representative clutter height. Possible inputs:
%	     - 'land' : sets R = 10m (default) - for open land (rural)
%	     - 'urban': sets R = 20m - for built-up areas
%	     - 'dense': sets R = 30m - for dense cities
%	     - 'open' : sets R = 10m and forces use of Kh2*log10(h2/R), also for h2<R'.
%	                Use this option in case antenna is adjacent to land in rural/open environment.
%	d  : distance to transmitter (optional)
%	h1 : transmitter effective antenna height (optional)
%	     If d or h1 remains unset, R'=R is assumed. You may do this if h1 < 6.5*d + R.
%	     Set h2 = -1 to test if this is the case, whith d , h1 and R set.
%	        Function returns 6.5*d + R - h1, which is positive if h1 < 6.5*d + R
%	R  : Representative clutter height in m (optional). Set by the 'env' input, but non-standard
%	     values may be entered here, overruling the 'env' setting: 10m for rural, 20m for urban,
%	     30m for dense urban.)
