Book excerpt: Provides scientists and engineers with a tool for accurate assessment of diffraction and ducting on radio and radar systems. The author gives the mathematical background to parabolic equations modeling and describes simple parabolic equation algorithms before progressing to more advanced topics such as domain truncation, the treatment of impedance boundaries, and the implementation of very fast hybrid methods combining ray-tracing and parabolic equation techniques. The last three chapters are devoted to scattering problems, with application to propagation in urban environments and to radar-cross- section computation.
