Propagation and reception of partially coherent waves in random media
Abstract
This work covers a broad spectrum including wide-band pulse propagation in a time-varying medium, turbulence, fog, rain, cloud and other discrete scatterers, relationship between transport theory and multiple scattering theory, backscattering of pulses, remote-sensing, intensity fluctuations, coherence bandwidth, coherence time, and pulse shape distortion of millimeter waves in rain, fog, and turbulence radiometric measurement of rain attenuation.
