dc.description.abstractDigital Elevation Models (DEMs) are computer-generated representations of the earth's surface. These surfaces can be used to predicted Line-of-Sight (LOS) radio propagation. DEM resolution can affect the results of this prediction. This study examines the effect of DEM resolution on accuracy by comparing varied resolution terrain data for a portion of Blacksburg, Virginia using the prediction of ESRI's ArcView® viewshed algorithm. Results show that resolutions between one-meter and thirty-meters have little effect on the aggregate accuracy of the viewshed.en
