The frequency scaling law, of the scintillation intensity derived from V.I. Tatarski's (1961) weak fluctuation theory is compared to experimental results. An analysis of a few scintillation events indicates that for large scintillations the scaling ratios of the scintillation intensity are well predicted by the theory. For small scintillations it is necessary to take the effects of the thermal noise into account.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":289865,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society International Symposium 1992 Digest","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122133142","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A Fourier-transform technique is employed to express the scattered field in the spectral domain in terms of parallel-plate waveguide modes. An approximate series solution for scattering is presented in a closed-form which is valid for the high-frequency scattering regime. Approximate solutions which are valid for the quasi-static and low-frequency scattering regimes are also obtained. Using the stationary phase approximation, the far-zone scattered field is obtained and its scattering behavior is studied in terms of the scattering angle, frequency, and channel size.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":289865,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society International Symposium 1992 Digest","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129940033","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results agree well with both calculated and measured results previously published. The approach given allows the time step to be set at the Courant limit and can be applied to scattering from targets with nonlinear loads and materials, to nonlinear harmonic generation, and to propagation through nonlinear materials.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":289865,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society International Symposium 1992 Digest","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128328089","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The performance of this equipment must be ensured by hardening against external electromagnetic fields which may enter the bridge through windows, doors, and seams.

In the present work the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method and the electric field integral equation (EFIE) implementation of the moment method are used to compute the electromagnetic fields inside the bridge. Effects of factors such as the shape of the incident pulse, the discretization of the structure, and the resonance of the structure on CPU time and accuracy of field computations are demonstrated.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":289865,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society International Symposium 1992 Digest","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125123472","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
