Cooperative scattering by dielectric spheres
Summary
Summary
The problem of scattering of electromagnetic waves by a small number of closely spaced dielectric spheres is considered as a boundary value problem. The solution to this problem is obtained in a series form using partial spherical vector waves. An approximate solution is also obtained for spheres separated sufficiently far...
Coherent pulse transmission through rain
Summary
Summary
The problem of received signal degradation for coherent pulse transmission through a rain scattering volume was investigated for large bandwidth transmission at 4.0, 8.0, 15.5 and 34. 86GHz. Calculations of pulse length and total pulse energy were made for different path lengths through the rain volume. The calculations were made...
Microwave scattering parameters for New England rain
Summary
Summary
Scattergrams of attenuation coefficient, effective reflectivity factor, single-scattering albedo, and radio refractivity vs liquid-water content, rain rate, and reflectivity factor are presented for a raindrop temperature of 0.0 degrees celsius and frequencies of 1.29, 2.80, 8.0, 9.35, 15.5, 35.0, 70.0, and 94.0 GHz. The scattergrams were computed using Mie theory...
