Statistical Theory of Scintillation-Update

In Chapter 3 of my book the system of differential equations that characterize the propagation of complex two-frequency field moments in irregular media were developed. The attached note reviews this material and its connection to the original and most cited … Continue reading

What’s the Book About

The theory of scintillation is about electromagnetic wave propagation in structured media.  But why does a phenomenon that has been studied for nearly a century now merit a new theoretical expose?  One part of the answer is that the essential … Continue reading
