An important contribution to the literature that introduces powerful new methods for modeling and simulating radio wave propagation A thorough understanding of electromagnetic wave propagation is fundamental to the development of sophisticated communication and detection technologies. The powerful numerical methods described in this book represent a major step forward in our ability to accurately model electromagnetic wave propagation in order to establish and maintain reliable communication links, to detect targets in radar systems, and to maintain robust mobile phone and broadcasting networks.  The first new book on guided wave propagation modeling and simulation to appear in nearly two decades, Radio Wave Propagation and Parabolic Equation Modeling addresses the fundamentals of electromagnetic wave propagation generally, with a specific focus on radio wave propagation through various media. The authors explore an array of new applications, and detail various virtual electromagnetic tools for solving several frequent electromagnetic propagation problems. All of the methods described are presented within the context of real-world scenarios typifying the differing effects of various environments on radio-wave propagation. This valuable text: Addresses groundwave and surface wave propagation Explains radar applications in terms of parabolic equation modeling and simulation approaches Introduces several simple and sophisticated MATLAB scripts Teaches applications that work with a wide range of electromagnetic, acoustic and optical wave propagation modeling Presents the material in a quick-reference format ideal for busy researchers and engineers Radio Wave Propagation and Parabolic Equation Modeling is a critical resource forelectrical, electronics, communication, and computer engineers working on industrial and military applications that rely on the directed propagation of radio waves. It is also a useful reference for advanced engineering students and academic researchers.

The aim of this book is to teach students the essential of Bezier and B-spline techniques with the aid of examples. Computer codes, which give an easy interface of Bezier and B-spline techniques to the users, are implemented as Matlab programs. The reason to choose Matlab is that it is easy to use and has a good graphical user interface. This book focuses on curves and surfaces using Bezier and B-spline techniques. It is based on the theory "Bezier and B-spline Techniques" which are known in mathematics. Interpolation and approximation methods have been illustrated intensively. Some of algorithms are represented using practical cases for example Casteljau algorithm. Students and researchers can use this book to succeed good understanding of Bezier and B-spline techniques for reliable and efficient studies in accordance within scientific applications.
