The Theory of Scintillation with Applications in Remote Sensing Rino Hardback

The Theory of Scintillation with Applications in Remote SensingAuthor(s): Charles Rino\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: John Wiley & Sons Inc, United States\nImprint: Wiley-IEEE Press\nISBN-13: 9780470644775, 978-0470644775\nSynopsis\nIn order to truly understand data signals transmitted by satellite, onemust understand scintillation theory in addition to well established theories of EM wave propagation and scattering. Scintillation is a nuisance in satellite EM communications, but it has stimulated numerous theoretical developments with science applications. This book not only presents a thorough theoretical explanation of scintillation, but it also offers a complete library of MATLAB codes that will reproduce the book examples. The library includesGPS 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.
