Waves in Large Disordered Fractal Systems: Radar, Nanosystems, and Clusters of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles and Small-Size Spacecrafts

Abstract

Problems and methods of development of the general theory of multiple scattering of electromagnetic waves in fractal randomly inhomogeneous media based on modifications of the classical Foldy–Tversky theory are considered. The backscattering processes, which are specific for radar probing of a fractal medium or a fractal target are studied. It is shown that the fractal signature can be used to study the dependence of volume scattering on distance and space-time evolution of atmospheric formations and multiple groups of artificial and natural objects.
