The ITU terrain model refers to a set of guidelines established by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) for predicting radio wave propagation in different types of terrestrial environments. Specifically, it is used for calculating the electromagnetic behavior of radio signals as they travel over varying terrain, which is crucial for designing and optimizing communication systems. The ITU terrain model incorporates different categories of terrain, such as urban, suburban, rural, and hilly environments.
