An analysis of EMPE code performance in a selection of laterally inhomogeneous atmospheric-duct environments

Electromagnetic Parabolic Equation (EMPE) (Ko et al. 1983) predictions are compared with those of the established theoretical coupled-mode model of Cho and Wait (1978) and with a variety of field test data. Together, these examinations show that the EMPE code can describe electromagnetic wave propag...

Description
Summary:Electromagnetic Parabolic Equation (EMPE) (Ko et al. 1983) predictions are compared with those of the established theoretical coupled-mode model of Cho and Wait (1978) and with a variety of field test data. Together, these examinations show that the EMPE code can describe electromagnetic wave propagation loss in range-dependent atmospheric-duct environments. (Author)
