A Model For Scattering In Dense Clouds, Richard A. Leblanc
A Model For Scattering In Dense Clouds, Richard A. Leblanc
Retrospective Theses and Dissertations
Lights is almost always detected by its interaction with matter. One of these interaction phenomena is the scattering of light by small particles. A model is developed that estimates the amount of energy that is scattered towards a detector from a beam given the locations of the source, detector and particle. This collection of particles is allowed to be very dense so that a photon scattered from the beam can be scattered several times before leaving the scattering medium. By considering the single-scatter component and multiple-scatter component separately, the model retains the characteristics of both types.
Millimeter Wave Scattering From A Rough Surface, Charles H. Hargraves
Millimeter Wave Scattering From A Rough Surface, Charles H. Hargraves
Retrospective Theses and Dissertations
This thesis presents an introduction to rough surface scattering and describes techniques that were used during the course of this project to measure and characterize electromagnetic scattering from a rough surface. An analytical model is described that accurately predicts the statistics of the measured scattering data. The CW measurement process that was used is described and scattering measurement results are presented. Calculated and measured statistical moments are compared in order to show agreement of measurements with various statistical scattering models. Recommendations for additional work in the area of measurement and analytical modeling of rough surface scattering are given.
