An extended random medium is modeled by a set of 2-D thin Gaussian phase-changing
screens with phase power spectral densities appropriate to the natural medium being …

Reviews the major advances achieved in the studies of EM wave propagation in turbulent
media. The greatest attention has been directly to the problem of strong fluctuations of …

In this survey, we fully review almost all potential ionospheric effects on the performance of
space-based radar systems (SBRs), which operate in the ambient ionosphere environment; …

We have calculated intensity spectra and variances for waves emanating from a point
source and propagating through extended three-dimensional random media by simulation …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the wave propagation theories in random media
based on the path-integral approach. The chapter focuses on the connection between the …

Extended Huygens–Fresnel principle (EHF) currently is the most common technique used in
theoretical studies of the optical propagation in turbulence. A recent review paper [J. Opt …

An approximate solution for the parabolic fourth-moment equation is found in the form of a
multiple convolution over spatial frequencies that is extremely accurate in the case of …

A series expression is developed for the fourth moment of a beamed field incident on a
random phase screen or an extended medium. The series has a symmetry that allows its first …

We demonstrate that a recently derived approximate solution to the fourth-moment equation
that was thought to be Valid only for strong scattering is in fact valid for all values of the …

The intensity covariance of a point source of waves propagating in a random medium is
calculated by using the asymptotic theory (strong-scattering regime) and a Kolmogorov …
