─ Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) modeling of electromagnetic wave propagation in the Earth-ionosphere waveguide has gained significant interest over the past two decades. Initially, FDTD modeling capabilities were largely limited to two-dimensional models assuming a plasma ionosphere (but incapable of accounting for Faraday rotation), or to threedimensional global models assuming a simple...

Suspended particles in the atmosphere during sand and dust storms have numerous consequences on electromagnetic wave propagation in arid regions. The electromagnetic wave signal may suffer attenuation and cross polarization upon encounter with the suspended particles. However, meager information has hitherto been reported about effect of storms on the telecommunication systems operating in such...

The auxiliary differential equation finite-difference time-domain method for modeling electromagnetic wave propagation in dispersive nonlinear materials is applied to problems where the electric field is not constrained to a single vector component. A full-vector Maxwell's equations solution incorporating multiple-pole linear Lorentz, nonlinear Kerr, and nonlinear Raman polarizations is present...

Cylindrical nonlinear optics is a burgeoning research area which describes cylindrical electromagnetic wave propagation in nonlinear media. Finding new exact solutions for different types of nonlinearity and inhomogeneity to describe cylindrical electromagnetic wave propagation is of great interest and meaningful for theory and application. This paper gives exact solutions for the cylindrical n...

The computer simulation of electromagnetic (EM) wave propagation in time domain plays an important role of development of wireless communications. Higher frequency is required for high data-rate communication; it makes the simulation large scale computation. Up to now, the FDTD method have been widely used for the computer simulation[1]. Recently, another method, the constrained interpolation p...

Deployment of wireless systems in nuclear power plants has attracted a lot of attention recently. However, before wireless systems can be installed in a nuclear power plant, it is necessary to evaluate the effect of radiation environment on electromagnetic wave which is the communication media for all radio wave based wireless systems. This is particular important if the wireless systems are ex...

This book [1] was written at an important point in the development of applications of electromagnetic (radio) waves to communications, navigation, and remote sensing. Such applications require accurate propagation predictions for a variety of path conditions, and this book provides the theoretical basis for such predictions. The book is based on fundamental research in electromagnetic wave prop...
