The Uniform Theory of Diffraction (UTD) is one of the most preferred high frequency asymptotic techniques for radio channel modeling. In this presentation, UTD is investigated and extended to scenarios of multiple diffraction from a cascade of two dimensional multi-shaped canonical objects such as wedges, knife-edges and cylinders. The heuristic slope UTD solution can give accurate and uniform field predictions at any area point and for any kind of environments. The solution is then compared against measurements taken in an anechoic chamber and a very good agreement is observed. Furthermore, an algorithm for implementing the proposed UTD solution to rural area field predictions is also presented, based on a novel algorithm for optimum fit of canonical shapes to the terrain irregularities. Comparisons between the model and measurements taken in real terrain profile show a very good agreement and uniform field predictions. The importance of the choice of the used canonical object to terrain modeling is also discussed since different diffraction patterns are observed for different combination of the canonical objects. Finally, the multiple obstruction UTD algorithm is implemented for urban and indoor propagation scenarios showing high accuracy and low CPU demands.
