Electromagnetic Scintillation: Volume 2, Weak Scattering

Electromagnetic Scintillation: Volume 2, Weak Scattering by Albert D. Wheelon is published by Cambridge University Press on July 31, 2003. This edition, comprising 462 pages, serves as a modern reference and comprehensive tutorial on the phase and amplitude fluctuations that affect signals traveling through the atmosphere. It builds upon the first volume, which addressed phase and angle-of-arrival measurement errors, by focusing on the amplitude and intensity fluctuations of received signals.

Readers will find detailed discussions on optical and microwave propagation, integrating measurements and predictions throughout the development process. This volume is particularly relevant for those interested in subjects such as physics, optics, and technology, providing insights into the complexities of electromagnetic scintillation. The book aims to enhance understanding of how these fluctuations impact signal integrity in various applications, including military science and electronics.
