Beschreibung:
Dr. Albert D. Wheelon has been a visiting scientist for the past decade at the Environmental Technology Laboratory of NOAA in Boulder, Colorado. He holds a BSc degree in engineering science from Stanford University and a PhD in physics from MIT, where he was a teaching fellow and a research associate in the Research Laboratory for Electronics. He has published thirty papers on radio physics and space technology in learned journals.
Electromagnetic Scintillation describes the phase and amplitude fluctuations imposed on signals that travel through the atmosphere. The two volumes of Electromagnetic Scintillation will constitute a modern reference and comprehensive tutorial, treating both optical and microwave propagation and integrating measurements and predictions at each step of the development. This first volume deals with phase and angle-of-arrival measurement errors, accurately described by geometrical optics and will be followed by a second volume on weak scattering. In this book, measured properties of tropospheric and ionsopheric irregularities are reviewed first. Electromagnetic fluctuations induced by these irregularities are then estimated for a wide range of applications.
Foreword; 1. Introduction; 2. Waves in random media; 3. Geometrical optics expressions; 4. Single path phase variance; 5. Phase structure function; 6. Time variation of phase; 7. Angle-of-arrival fluctuations; 8. Phase distributions; 9. Field strength moments; Appendices.
