Reverberant Microwave Propagation

Abstract

The purposes of this Reverberant Microwave Propagation work were, first, to expand measurement capabilities by an extensive investigation of short pulse excitation of empty, partially filled, and coupled cavities, and second, to improve our understanding of microwave propagation in moderately reverberant spaces, such as ship and aircraft compartments and in metal buildings. Understanding propagation in these types of spaces is increasingly important to the U.S. Navy. Various electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) issues relate to the proliferation of high-powered microwave emitters in these spaces. Also, reverberant/multipath propagation has a limiting effect on the rate at which data may be sent in digital wireless communication links.
