Electromagnetic Scintillation: Volume 1, Geometrical Optics
Electromagnetic Scintillation: Volume 1, Geometrical Optics by Albert D. Wheelon, published by Cambridge University Press on September 15, 2005, spans 476 pages and is presented in English. This volume focuses on the phase and amplitude fluctuations that affect signals traveling through the atmosphere, providing a modern reference and comprehensive tutorial on the subject. It emphasizes geometrical optics to address phase and angle-of-arrival measurement errors, setting the stage for a subsequent volume that will cover weak scattering.
Readers will find a detailed examination of the measured properties of tropospheric and ionospheric irregularities, along with estimations of the electromagnetic fluctuations these irregularities induce across various applications. The book integrates measurements and predictions throughout its development, making it a valuable resource for those interested in the intersections of science, physics, optics, and technology.
Official synopsis Publisher
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.
