Laboratory models used in the investigation of radio wave propagation in irregular structures.

Laboratory models used in the investigation of radio wave propagation in irregular structures.

A laboratory model first conceived by Wait (see IEEE Antennas Propagat. Mag., vol.40, p.7-24, 1998) to investigate radio wave propagation in the perturbed environment of the Earth-ionosphere waveguide is described. The construction of the laboratory model involves the exploitation of the following f...
