Abstract:

The research done under the AFOSR grant A Research Program on Ultrawideband Electromagnetic Pulse Propagation Through the Ionosphere lies in the following three areas The description of ultra-wideband pulse propagation through a homogeneous, lossy plasma. Ultra-wideband pulse propagation through a material whose dielectric permittivity may be characterized as a Debye model with static levels of conductivity. The effect of conductivity on the peak amplitude of the Brillouin precursor. The significant work accomplished in each of these areas is presented in the following summary.
