The formalism is extended to account for arbitrary and possibly statistical sources driving a polygonal cavity problem and to account for apertures. In this approach, the boundary integral equations are encoded within a shift operator which propagates waves leaving the boundary until they return to the boundary as an incoming wave. The response of the system to non-deterministic, statistical sources characterised by correlation functions can be treated, providing a direct path to ray-tracing approaches through the Wigner function. The high frequency limit is retrieved semiclassically and provides a simple ray tracing scheme transporting densities of rays as an averaged response. Interference effects due to transport along multiple paths can also be accounted for.","PeriodicalId":400853,"journal":{"name":"2016 URSI International Symposium on Electromagnetic Theory (EMTS)","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123810523","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}

Inspired by previous studies in acoustics and seismology, we show how the mutual coherence function of a broadband and incoherent wave-field can directly yield the Green's functions between scatterers of a complex medium. Both the ballistic and multiple scattering components of the Green's function are retrieved. This simple and powerful approach directly yields a wealth of information about the medium under investigation. In particular, it allows to investigate locally the growth of the diffusive halo within the scattering medium. Local measurements of transport parameters can thus be performed and allow to image a strongly scattering layer with a unprecedented resolution of a few transport mean free paths. This constitutes a major breakthrough compared to state-of-the-art techniques such as optical diffuse tomography.","PeriodicalId":400853,"journal":{"name":"2016 URSI International Symposium on Electromagnetic Theory (EMTS)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123899538","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}

In particular, it extends to SWs the basic concepts of GO (ray-path, ray-velocity, transport of energy), thus, resulting in an elegant formulation which allows for close-form analysis of planar operational devices. Furthermore, being the modulated surface impedance based on 2-D coordinate mapping, it allows one to determine ray path without resorting to ray tracing.","PeriodicalId":400853,"journal":{"name":"2016 URSI International Symposium on Electromagnetic Theory (EMTS)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129490012","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 design example is presented that illustrate the use of the IMFOA, and the optimization goal in example is accurately provided and easily achieved. The result of the IMFOA is validated by comparing with results obtained using the MFOA method, and GA/Fminsearch method.
