Propagation Characteristics of a Pulse Wave in a Discrete Time-Varying Random Medium.
Abstract
The propagation characteristics, coherence time, coherence bandwidth, and pulse waveform of a wave passing through a discrete time-varying random medium are considered in the report. They are formulated based on Foldy-Twersky theory. Using its first order solution, explicit expressions are given for plane, spherical and beam waves. These expressions apply to the cases of small transmitting bandwidths and/or short propagation distances. Numerical calculations are made for mm plane and spherical waves propagated through rain.
