Exploring the Fundamentals of Radio Wave Propagation [Book/Software Reviews]

Fundamentals of Wave Propagation

In this chapter and Chapter 4, waves are considered in 3-D, in general. However, in some applications such as in integrated optics in which propagation of waves on a surface is often considered, 2-D waves are of interest. For example, see Chapter 19 on dense wavelength division multiplexing. Two-dimensional equations are simpler because one of the space variables, say, y is omitted from the equ...

ionospheric absorption of hf radio wave in vertical propagation

in this study, absorption of high frequency radio waves in the ionospheric plasma have beeninvestigated. the wave equation was obtained in terms of ionospheric parameters. the numerical values ofthe absorption have been calculated for 4 mhz, 4.5 mhz and 5 mhz waves. the necessary parameters forcalculation have been obtained using an international reference ionosphere (iri) model. the altitudina...

Radio Wave Propagation Through Foliage

Wireless technology continues to experience rapid growth and development. With the ever increasing demand for wireless services and applications, more advanced tools are necessary to ensure the performance of these wireless systems. One of the most important tools for system development and radio planning are the radio propagation channel models. These models allow system designers and radio pl...

Radio Wave Propagation Through Vegetation

Vegetation is an indispensable feature of most outdoor wireless channel environments. The interaction between radio waves and vegetation has been researched for several decades. Because of the complex structure of the foliage, composed of randomly oriented trunks, branches, twigs and leaves, the involved physical process in the propagation of the radiowave through vegetation is complex. Accurat...
