Area of Science:

  • Physics
  • Geophysics
  • Wave Propagation

Background:

  • Random medium parameters significantly alter ultrawide-band high-frequency fields.
  • Signal distortions, including pulse broadening and time delay, arise from the dispersive properties of random media.
  • Traditional analysis relies on spectral decomposition and the two-frequency mutual coherence function.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a novel reference-wave method for analyzing pulsed signal propagation in random media.
  • To solve the equation for the two-frequency mutual coherence function propagator.
  • To extend the method for analyzing pulse distortion effects.

Main Methods:

  • Embedding the problem into a higher-dimensional space with additional coordinates.
  • Transforming the extended coordinate system to emphasize "fast" and "slow" varying coordinates.

    • The solution simplifies to previously established exact results when approximating the medium's transverse structure function quadratically.
    • The reference-wave method's applicability to pulse distortion analysis was demonstrated.

    Conclusions:

    • The reference-wave method provides an effective analytical tool for understanding wave propagation in random media.
    • The method offers a systematic way to analyze complex signal distortions, including pulse broadening and time delays.
    • This approach facilitates a deeper understanding of high-frequency field behavior in geophysical environments.
