Wave Propagation In Guiding Environments: Modeling, Simulation, Software Calibration and Canonical Tests

  • Conference paper
Electromagnetics in a Complex World

Part of the book series: Springer Proceedings in Physics ((SPPHY,volume 96))

Abstract

Electromagnetic (EM) wave propagation through guiding environments with transversely as well as longitudinally varying refractivity, and with varying boundary contours, poses a problem of substantial complexity. Wireless propagation in urban and rural regions, optical films, microstrip networks, waveguides of various kinds, etc., are typical examples.
