The study shows that the dispersion of the monocycle pulse is character ized by the materials from which it is reflected. The implication is that it is possible to detect and identify a salt water under dissipative fresh water by examining the reflected monocycle pulse. INTRODUCTION A monocycle pulse is either half or one full cycle of a harmonic wave or square wave. It is the limiting of the harmonic wave or square wave in time that gives it its broadband characteris tics. The broadband is not shifted up in fre quency by a carrier because the monocycle is \"carrierless\". The duration of a monocycle pulse can be microseconds, nanoseconds or picoseconds. Its harmonic analysis (Fourier transform from the time domain to the frequency domain) represents a broadband pulse that does not have a carrier. The characteristics of a single cycle of short sinusoidal or square pulse of electromag netic radiation are significantly different from the widely studied characteristics of single fre quency pulse modulated continuous electromagnetic waves. Such a monocycle pulse undergoes a dis persion and a change in amplitude when it is re flected from a boundary between media of differ ent electrical conductivities, capacitivities (dielectric constants) and/or specific induc tivities (permeabilities). The dispersion and amplitude change and consequently the resulting shape of the monocycle pulse depends on these differences in a, e and p. COMPUTER MODEL A computer model was developed to simulate a monocycle radar in air 15 meters over a layer of fresh water which is over a layer of salt water. The material the layer consists of can be changed by changing the value of dielectric constant and conductivity, the constitutive parameters of the medium. The study using the computer model shows that it is possible to deter mine the difference between the transmitted mono cycle pulse, the pulse reflected from the air/ fresh water interface and the fresh water/salt water interface by examining their shapes. (See Figure 1). The salt water layer was changed to simulate a sandy bottom and the pulse was com pared to one reflected from the salt water layer. The pulses differed in both amplitude and shape inplying it is possible to determine the differ ence between a salt water wedge and a sandy bottom by comparing the reflected pulses. (See Figure 2). The computer model modified to simulate the temperature and salinities of the West Gotland Basin showed that for a 100 ns pulse propagating through 5 meters of water with a conductivity of 1.2 mhos/meter, 28 mV/meter returned to the mono cycle radar antenna on the surface of the water. The model also showed that when the conduction current dominates the displacement current delays in propagation as high as a factor of 80 can","PeriodicalId":448304,"journal":{"name":"1980 IEEE International Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1980-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122133656","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}
