Form-Temporal Dynamics of Subnanosecond Radio Pulses Propagating in Heterogeneous Media

Abstract

The results of radiophysical investigations of the form-temporal dynamics of subnanosecond pulses propagating in heterogeneous media are presented. The reflection of these pulses from an inclined plane surface and their propagation through a dielectric are demonstrated. The influence of the scattering cross section of an illuminated surface and the influence of the dielectric loss on the form-frequency dynamics characterizing the distribution of the field intensity of Gaussian radio pulses are investigated. The features of the form-temporal and spectral transformations of the distribution of the electric field intensity characterizing ultrashort pulse signals are shown. The main results of the investigations are formulated.
