Infrared Propagation in Radar Frequency Ducting Conditions

Abstract

This report investigates radar frequency (RF) and infrared (IR) propagation under the same atmospheric conditions to study to what extent IR detection systems can plug the holes in RF detection caused by the presence of evaporation and surface based ducts.
