Research Interest One of my interests lies in the area of electromagnetic wave propagation, especially the modeling of radio wave propagation in various environments for narrow and ultra-wide bandwidths. My thesis focused on the development of a physical-based model, the combined method of ray tracing and diffraction (CMRTD), to simulate the radio signal propagation in the vegetated residential areas. I am currently working on the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) technique to investigate the backscattering from the target within the opaque structures. FDTD is the direct solution to Maxwells curl equations. It is accurate and robust. These features, together with the state-of-the-art computers, offer FDTD the ability to simulate the ultra-wideband (UWB) propagation in the presence of the obstacles. |
