A Research Program on the Asymptotic Description of Electromagnetic Pulse Propagation in Spatially Inhomogeneous Temporally Dispersive, Attenuative Media

Abstract

The results of this analysis have direct, meaningful application to the analysis and design of low-observable surfaces (for stealth airframes) and ultra-wideband radar systems (for observing stealth airframes), the remote detection of buried structures (such as land-mines and IED's), ionospheric pulse propagation (for remote sensing from an orbiting satellite), as well as the problem of ultra-wideband electromagnetic pulse exposure of biological tissues. Of further interest is the application of this theory to undersea communications systems, terahertz optical communication and integrated optics systems, and the remote sensing of geophysical structures.
