Electromagnetic Scintillation: Volume 1, Geometrical Optics Paperback / softback
by Albert D. Wheelon
Paperback / softback
- Information
Description
Electromagnetic Scintillation describes the phase and amplitude fluctuations imposed on signals that travel through the atmosphere.
The volumes that make up Electromagnetic Scintillation will provide a modern reference and comprehensive tutorial, treating both optical and microwave propagation and integrating measurements and predictions at each step of the development.
This first volume deals with phase and angle-of-arrival measurement errors, accurately described by geometrical optics.
It will be followed by a further volume examining weak scattering.
In this book, measured properties of tropospheric and ionospheric irregularities are reviewed first.
Electromagnetic fluctuations induced by these irregularities are then estimated for a wide range of applications.
The book will be of interest to those working in the resolution of astronomical interferometers and large single-aperture telescopes, as well as synthetic aperture radars and laser pointing/tracking systems.
It is also directly relevant to those working in laser metrology, GPS location accuracy, and terrestrial and satellite communications.
