Electromagnetic Scintillation: Volume 1, Geometrical Optics 1st Edition by Albert D. Wheelon (PDF)

Description

Electromagnetic Scintillation describes the phase and amplitude fluctuations imposed on signals that travel through the atmosphere. The two volumes of Electromagnetic Scintillation will constitute 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 and will be followed by a second volume on weak scattering. In this book, measured properties of tropospheric and ionsopheric irregularities are reviewed first. Electromagnetic fluctuations induced by these irregularities are then estimated for a wide range of applications.

Editorial Reviews: Review “Few books available today focus solely on electromagnetic scintillation; a reader might have to look in a number of books in different subject areas to find what these two volumes concisely detail.” Optics & Photonics News”The author is to be congratulated, and thanked, for writing this comprehensive treatment of the scintillation of electromagnetic waves over broad spectrum, from visible light to radio waves.” IEEE Antennas and Propagation Magazine”It is among the most definitive examinations of how Earth’s atmosphere distorts waves of light, vital to developing more accurate telescopes, radars, lasers and even satellite-based global positioning systems.” LA Times Book Description An important reference work for researchers in optics, astronomy, physics and electrical engineering. About the Author Dr. Albert D. Wheelon has been a visiting scientist for the past decade at the Environmental Technology Laboratory of NOAA in Boulder, Colorado. He holds a BSc degree in engineering science from Stanford University and a PhD in physics from MIT, where he was a teaching fellow and a research associate in the Research Laboratory for Electronics. He has published thirty papers on radio physics and space technology in learned journals. Read more

⭐This is a very good book. It can be very useful for both beginners and experts in the field of wave propagation in random media.

⭐Very thourough treatment of phase scintillation and angle-of-arrival fluctuations. I am really looking forward to the second volume.
