Imaging and Communication through a Combination of Turbulent and Random Discrete-Scatterer Media

Abstract

The principal goal of our project was to develop a formulation for pulse forming, detection, and processing methods which would enhance signal penetration through obscuring media, without compromising the range resolution in imaging and/or the bit rate in communication. The main idea was to utilize incoherently detected pulses (through measurements of their intensity). The underlying approach was based on analytic complex-contour integration of numerically determined cut and pole singularities of the radiative transport equation solution in the Fourier space. The approach allows to take advantage of the reduced pulse attenuation and reduce the detrimental effects of diffusion by means of processing of the received signal.
