Scattering of Electromagnetic Waves: Theories and Applications

A timely and authoritative guide to the state of the art of wavescattering

Scattering of Electromagnetic Waves offers in three volumes acomplete and up-to-date treatment of wave scattering by randomdiscrete scatterers and rough surfaces. Written by leadingscientists who have made important contributions to wave scatteringover three decades, this new work explains the principles, methods, and applications of this rapidly expanding, interdisciplinaryfield. It covers both introductory and advanced material andprovides students and researchers in remote sensing as well asimaging, optics, and electromagnetic theory with a one-stopreference to a wealth of current research results. Plus, Scatteringof Electromagnetic Waves contains detailed discussions of bothanalytical and numerical methods, including cutting-edge techniquesfor the recovery of earth/land parametric information.

The three volumes are entitled respectively Theories andApplications, Numerical Simulation, and Advanced Topics. In thefirst volume, Theories and Applications, Leung Tsang (University ofWashington) Jin Au Kong (MIT), and Kung-Hau Ding (Air ForceResearch Lab) cover:
* Basic theory of electromagnetic scattering
* Fundamentals of random scattering
* Characteristics of discrete scatterers and rough surfaces
* Scattering and emission by layered media
* Single scattering and applications
* Radiative transfer theory and solution techniques
* One-dimensional random rough surface scattering
