DESCRIPTION:This IEEE AP-S DL talk will focus on electromagnetic wave propa
 gation which has long been one of the important options for medium and lon
 g-range communication as well as radar systems. In addition to the classic
 al LF/MF/HF broadcast and communication systems\, emerging HF and VHF rada
 r technologies\, intelligent transportation or digital radio broadcast sys
 tems require understanding propagation characteristics over the Earth’s 
 surface along realistic propagation paths. It is therefore propagation eng
 ineers’ or site surveyors’ dream to have a numerical propagation tool 
 that calculates path losses between any two points marked on their digital
  maps. This necessitates the solution of electromagnetic (EM) wave equatio
 n in three-dimension (3D) which takes into account various EM effects\, su
 ch as\, the irregular terrain profile\, the vegetation\, the Earth’s cur
 vature\, the atmospheric refractivity\, the presence of buildings\, cars\,
  and other obstacles\, etc. Also\, it must include all the relevant scatte
 ring components (e.g.\, multiple reflections and refractions\, edge/tip di
 ffractions\, surface and/or leaky waves\, etc.) that account for the path 
 loss. Unfortunately\, this is not yet in sight. The aim of this presentati
 on is to review electromagnetic wave propagation models and numerical prop
 agation prediction tools and discuss problems and challenges as well as to
  project future developments.\n\nCo-sponsored by: Staracom\n\nSpeaker(s):
