Rino C. The Theory of Scintillation with Applications in Remote Sensing

John Wiley & Sons, 2011. - 244 p.This book presents a complete theoretical explanation of scintillation with diverse applications. The author's approach provides an algorithmic formulation that admits no intrinsic limitations, and effectively reformulates the theory to take full advantage of readily available modern computational resources. He tightly integrates practical and scientific applications by using modern signal processing and information theoretic structures, and extends the theory to accommodate scattering objects and boundary surfaces.This book is designed for electromagnetic wave researchers and practitioners as well as students; it will also benefit professors teaching propagation theory and radio wave and optical communication specialists.
The book also offers a complete library of MatLAB codes that will reproduce the book examples. The library includes GPS coordinate manipulations, satellite orbit prediction, and earth mean magnetic field computations. The subect matter is for EM researchers; however, also theory is relevant to geophysics, acoustics, optics and astoronomy
