EM Propagation Characteristics of Surface Materials and Interface Aspects.
Abstract
In the field of electromagnetic wave propagation, essential limiting conditions may be represented by characteristics and behavior of boundaries of the propagation environment. The performance of propagation paths may depend significantly upon variations in such surface properties. A Specialist's Meeting was particularly concerned with surface characteristics and accounted for the increasing importance of appropriate parameters for a number of modern fields of research and engineering applications, such as remote sensing and surveillance, target recognition, sub-surface propagation, etc. Sessions dealt with EM surface characteristics, propagation in interface media, and global distribution of EM surface characteristics. Material presented and discussed was supplemented by a round-table discussion. The meeting provided a review of the state of the art in the field of research, discussed theoretical and engineering aspects, and indicated promising areas of research. Papers and discussion material in this publication were presented at the Specialists' Meeting of the AGARD Electromagnetic Wave Propagation Panel on EM Propagation Characteristics of Surface Materials and Interface Aspects held in Istanbul, Turkey, on 18th and 19th October 1976.
