A wave is a disturbance that propagates through space and time, usually with the transference of energy from one point to another without permanent displacement of particles of the medium. The particles under this situation only oscillate about their equilibrium positions. If the particles oscillate in the direction of wave propagation, then the wave is called longitudinal wave. However, if the...

Large-eddy simulation (LES) has been successfully used by the atmospheric community to generate fine resolution fields of turbulent refractivity. These fields can be directly used for the wave propagation problem in the megahertz range but not for the waves of higher frequencies. Numerical computation of these high frequency waves require very fine grid resolution, which is beyond the capabilit...

We describe in detail the method for Particle-in cell/Monte-Carlo simulation of electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) discharges. In the simulation, electric and magnetic fields are obtained by solving Maxwell equations, and electrons and ions are accelerated by solving equations of motion. We consider two different cases: (i) propagation of electromagnetic wave in the presence of a constant exter...

This paper deals with works on radar links in a three-dimensional marine environment. Radar performances prediction represents an important phase in the radar system parameterisation. This prediction is strongly related to the electromagnetic waves propagation modelling in maritime environment. The modelling of propagation, in troposphere, requires a good consideration of meteorological paramet...

Humidity remains in the atmosphere even on bright days. Water of all three states can be found naturally in the atmosphere: liquid (rain, fog, and clouds), solid (snowflakes, ice crystals), and gas (water vapour). Water in any state is an obstacle in the link of the electromagnetic wave. When the wave passes through the water particles, a part of its energy is absorbed and a part is scattered. ...

Electromagnetic wave propagation in arid and semi-arid regions is influenced by sand and dust storms. Meagre information has hitherto been reported as to the effect of storms on telecommunication systems operating in such regions. This paper presents a survey of current understanding of the wave propagation during storms. In this first part of the review—Part I, detailed parametric assessment o...

A simple but highly efficient approach for dealing with the problem of cylindrical electromagnetic waves propagation in a nonlinear medium is proposed based on an exact solution proposed recently. We derive an analytical explicit formula, which exhibiting rich interesting nonlinear effects, to describe the propagation of any amount of cylindrical electromagnetic waves in a nonlinear medium. The...

I. INTRODUCTION THE accurate analysis, design and optimization of guided-wave structures are essential for the development of integrated photonic devices. Of all the methods used to simulate guided-wave propagation in these devices, the beam propagation method (BPM) has been one of the most popular approaches used in the modeling and simulation of electromagnetic wave
