Path Loss Models for Air-to-Ground Radio Channels in Urban Environments

TL;DR: New statistical models for air-to-ground channels in an urban environment are provided and issues such as path loss and shadowing are evaluated as a function of the elevation angle to the airborne platform, rather than the more usual separation distance used for terrestrial mobile communications.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ground penetrating radar polarization and scattering from cylinders

TL;DR: The backscattered fields from cylinders may be strongly depolarized depending on the orientation of cylinders relative to the antennas, the electrical properties of the cylinders, and the radius of the cylinder compared to the incident wavelength.

Measurement and Analysis of Propagation Mechanisms at 40 GHz: Viability of Site Shielding Forced by Obstacles

TL;DR: In this article, the viability of applying site-shielding techniques to systems operating in frequency bands around 40 GHz is investigated, including transmission across building obstacles, depolarization, reflection, and diffraction.

On the basic principles of radar polarimetry: the target characteristic polarization state theory of Kennaugh, Huynen's polarization fork concept, and its extension to the partially polarized case

TL;DR: In this article, the target characteristic polarization state theory is developed for the coherent case using the three stage, the basis transformation, and the power (Mueller) matrix optimization procedures.
