B1. Scattering and Diffraction

Canonical diffraction problems such as diffraction by strips, waveguide cavity, and diffraction gratings have been investigated where solution methods employed are the point matching method [Yamasaki et al., 1993] and the Wiener Hopf technique [Uchida et al., 1993; Kabayashi, 1993; Shimoda and Itakura, 1993a]. Diffraction gratings can be analyzed by the spectral domain method [Kitazawa, 1993a] and the differential method [Abe and Koshiba, 1994]. Scattering by the chiral slab [Tanaka and Kusunoki, 1993] and the moving surface [Kuroda, 1994] are another important scattering problems. Basic studies for understanding the electromagnetic fields are found in the references [Tokumaru and Ping, 1993; Hosono, 1994; Yoshitomi, 1994].

B2. Inverse Scattering

Adachi and Uno [1993] have proposed an iterative radar target imaging algorithm based on the modified extended physical optics current method, which iteratively takes account of the wave diffraction over the shadow portion of the target surface. It has been shown that the profile not only the illuminated portion but also the shadowed portion of thick target can be reconstructed adequately by performing a few iterations based on the Fourier transform of the backscattered field data in frequency domain. This method has been extended to the two- dimensional profiling of conducting objects by utilizing the Simultaneous Iterative Reconstruction Technique [Adachi et al., 1993].

A boundary matching technique has been applied to reconstruct the layered refractive index profile of a circularly symmetric object illuminated by a plane wave [Ishida et al., 1994].

An iterative reconstruction algorithm based on the modified Newton Kantorovich method for two-dimensional refractive index of an inhomogeneous cylindrical scatterer has been proposed [Harada et al., 1992]. Harada et al. [1993] have shown the robustness of the method for the noisy data. The conjugate gradient method has been applied to the inverse scattering problem for the same model [Harada et al., 1995].

Yoshitomi et al. [1993] have applied an artificial neural network technique to the determination of the rms height and the correlation distance of one-dimensional rough surfaces illuminated by a beam wave. The intensity correlations of the scattered wave at two wavelengths in the specular and backward directions are used to reconstruct the roughness parameters.

A two-dimensional quasi-exact active imaging method for detecting conductive objects buried in the ground has been proposed [He et al., 1993a]. In this method the secondary current on the target surface are synthesized by summing up the measured data. In the sense that the electromagnetic wave propagation is exactly considered, but the current on the target is approximated by the extended physical optics current method, this imaging method is quasi-exact. However, the effectiveness of the method has been shown theoretically and experimentally.

Wakatabe et al. [1993] have proposed an image reconstruction method of discrete point targets in an inhomogeneous medium which is based on a model fitting with nonlinear least-squares. It has been shown that a much sharper image than that obtained by the conventional aperture synthesis technique, is obtained. Regarding the geophysical prospection using a ground penetrating radar, Sato et al. [1994] have developed an automatic data processing algorithm which is taken into account of the antenna characteristics.

B3. Computational Techniques

The finite element techniques were extensively applied to determine more accurate solutions in the two- and three-dimensional vectorial wave problems [Alam et al., 1993, 1994; Gotoh and Koshiba, 1995; Hano et al., 1992; Hasegawa et al., 1994; Hasegawa and Koshiba, 1995; Hirayama et al., 1994; Kaji et al., 1992; Koshiba et al., 1994; Ohbuchi and Koshiba, 1993].

The finite difference time domain (FDTD) methods were discussed so as to reduce computational times [Araki et al., 1994; Hyodo et al., 1995; Kodama et al., 1993, 1994] and studied in real application problems [Iwabuchi et al., 1995; Maeshima et al., 1993; Qian et al., 1994a]. The related technique, transmission line matrix technique, was examined to calculate a near field solution in an open ended waveguide [Fujino and Tong, 1994]. A new FDTD code based on the spatial network method to describe three-dimensional vector potential fields was developed by Yoshida [1993].

The propagating beam method or beam propagation method (BPM) by Feit and Fleck was found very useful in a wide range of applications. The method was extended to the highly efficient technique which was able to treat off-axis propagating beams arising in the configuration of real waveguide devices [Arai et al., 1993; Hotta et al., 1993; Maruta et al., 1994; Takakuwa et al., 1994a, 1994b].

The moment method for integral equations involved in antennas problems was reviewed in the literature [Nakano, 1993]. Integral equations of various types for linear antennas were discussed from computational standpoints.

Computation of high-frequency fields is a long-lasting subject in the electromagnetics community. Numerical scheme based on the Yasuura's theory was tested to calculate the surface current induced on three-dimensional scatterers [Ikuno et al., 1993a]. Equivalent edge-currents introduced in physical optics made it possible to greatly simplify the theory of diffraction and provide a useful description for practical use [Sunahara et al., 1993].

B4. High Frequency Technique

The classical but important analysis method of Physical Optics (PO) has been intensively reexamined by several authors. Key difficulties in full interpretation of PO were the surface integration. It is asymptotically reduced to line integration of equivalent edge currents (EECs) or its further approximation of two point contributions by using diffraction coefficients. The uniform Physical Optics (PO) diffraction coefficients were proposed [Ando et al., 1995]. The superiority of the new PO diffraction coefficients in approximating PO integrals were numerically demonstrated for the two- and three-dimensional scattering from plates. The new coefficients also make it possible to understand the behavior of PO itself near the geometrical boundaries. An important result that PO predicts accurate polarization near there is theoretically derived for the first time. This is in contrast with the belief that PO is erroneous in predicting polarization, based upon the conventional nonuniform diffraction coefficients. The results were also applied to the derivation of PO- and FW(fringe wave)-equivalent edge currents. Generally, PO fields were inaccurate in the shadow region where the source is screened by the scatterer. Comparison of PO in terms of diffraction coefficients stated above and geometrical theory of diffraction (GTD) which gives accurate fields in the shadow region, clarifies the cause of PO errors. A novel finding was the fictitious rays which are the dominant factors of the PO error in the shadow region [Oodo et al., 1994]. For a scatterer with a corner, PO errors in the shadow regions are mainly due to the rays emanating from the invisible edges, while for a curved surface scatterer, the contributions of this fictitious rays are small and main PO errors generally consist in PO-EECs itself. It was numerically demonstrated that subtraction of these fictitious components greatly enhances the accuracy of PO and Physical Theory of Diffraction (PTD). The uniform PO diffraction coefficients were also derived for anisotropy surface, that is, the dielectric slab loaded with a periodic array of strips over a ground plane [Chen et al., 1995]. Based upon the closed form expressions for its reflection coefficient, two special polarization directions were derived for which the polarization direction of the reflected wave remains unchanged. PO diffraction coefficients consist of two sets of coefficients derived for isotropic surfaces. As an important utilization of PO in RCS calculation, extended use of PO named EPO originally developed by Adachi in 1960's was reexamined and the effectiveness of slenderness approximations in RCS estimation was reinforced [Adachi, 1993].

A unique concept of modified edge representation, which generalizes the flat plate diffraction coefficients valid only for diffraction points to those for general edge points, was applied for the integral reduction of fringe waves (FW) [Murasaki et al., 1993]. This is the complementary work of the same authors for PO components; PO-EECs with classical PO diffraction coefficients, as applied to MER, perfectly recover PO surface integration. The contribution of FW-EECs to total EECs in this approach was weighted by the function of the angle between the modified edge and the real edge. The key feature of this approach is that uniform fields are predicted everywhere though only classical diffraction coefficients are used in first-order diffraction: the secondary diffraction is included as well: the ray-tracing is greatly simplified by introducing other fictitious edges for MER. Numerical results for diffraction from flat plates demonstrated the potential of these EECs.

The Keller diffraction coefficient is singular at the shadow and reflection boundaries (SB & RB). Nevertheless, it was shown that the diffracted fields calculated by Keller's diffraction coefficients remain finite at SB and RB of a polygonal cylinder and a slit [Iwashige et al., 1994]. This is the extension of Sikta's work for the flat plate.

The problem of plane wave diffraction by a perfectly conducting strip was reexamined for both E and H polarization based on the Wiener-Hopf technique [Koshikawa et al., 1993]. The starting point of the analysis was in the formal exact solution obtained by the same authors in the previous papers, which was expressed in terms of an integral equation in the complex domain. A new approach for solving the integral equation asymptotically was presented, and the high-frequency asymptotic solution including all the higher order terms was obtained for the width of the strip large compared with the wavelength. Numerical examples of the monostatic and bistatic radar cross sections (RCS) as well as the total scattering cross section were shown and the scattering characteristics of the strip were discussed in detail. Some comparisons with the exact solution based on separation of variables in elliptic coordinates were also given and the accuracy of the present approach was demonstrated.

Mechanism extraction of pulsed wave scattering from dielectric cylinders were developed in these years. By analyzing and discriminating the response for the pulse, the scattering phenomena can be resolved. An extended ray theory (ERT), which was an complex version of the ray theory, was proposed as a method to systematically analyze the scattering process of the electromagnetic wave by a smooth two-dimensional object [Ikuno et al., 1993b]. It can explain not only the real rays, but also the complex rays which are significant in the shadow of caustics. The authors extended ERT for 3-D scattering problem as well and show that the ERT can evaluate the scattered field even in shadowed side of caustic [Ikuno et al., 1995]. A typical numerical example showed that the complex ray contribution to the scattered field was significant for the indented objects. High frequency properties of scattering wave due to an infinite dielectric thick cylinder for a normally incident plane wave was discussed and mechanism extraction was conducted [Sasamori et al., 1995a]. The solutions divide into the rays passing outside of the cylinder and going through the cylinder. The result was valid in almost all the region including the transition region adjacent to the shadow boundaries where the pure ray optical solution fails. Excellent agreement with exact eigenfunction solutions was demonstrated except for the close neighborhood of the critical scattering angle, which was solved later by special treatment [Sasamori et al., 1995b]. The solution can be interpreted as the sum of a specular reflection and a lateral wave. The validity of this solution was confirmed numerically.

B5. Transient Fields

The finite difference time domain (FDTD) method has been applied to electromagnetic scattering and antenna analyses. He et al. [1993b] have analyzed two dimensional transient scattering due to conducting objects buried in a homogeneous medium when a current source is located above an interface. They have proposed a spline interpolation scheme of the field near the surface of object in order to reduce a calculation error caused from a FDTD square cell. Maeshima et al. [1993] have extended this method to the transient scattering by the dielectric and/or conducting objects buried in an inhomogeneous medium.

Luebbers et al. [1993a] have applied the FDTD method to the analysis of transient propagation through a highly conductive nonlinear magnetic sheet. The effects of the high conductivity and magnetic material nonlinearity on the stability of the FDTD calculation has been investigated in detail. Luebbers et al. [1993b] have also investigated the transient propagation in dispersive media, and have compared with the fields calculated by the asymptotic method.

Kashiwa et al. [1993] have visualized the transient electromagnetic field radiated from a two-element Yagi-Uda antenna by using the FDTD method.

Ohnuki et al. [1993] have analyzed the transient scattering of a half sine pulse wave by a conducting rectangular cylinder with an open side-wall by using a point matching method combined with the fast inversion of Laplace transform (FILT) algorithm.

Asymptotic techniques have been applied to the transient scattering analysis. Ohmori et al. [1993] have investigated the transient scattering of a plane wave from smooth dielectric cylindrical objects whose relative refractive index is less than 1, by using the extended ray theory. Nishimoto and Ikuno [1994] have proposed a simple numerical method for calculating paths of creeping ray around an arbitrary convex object without solving a differential equation of geodesic path.

Itoh and Hosono [1995] have analyzed the forward and backward scattering responses of the plane wave due to a dielectric sphere by numerically transforming the Mie series solution using the FILT. The FILT has been applied to the analysis of transient propagation of the plane wave in a lossless cold plasma [Kuroiwa and Hosono, 1995].

B6.4. Optical Fibers and Optical Integrated Circuits

Koshiba [1994] has reviewed the numerical methods for the design and simulation of optical waveguide devices and optical integrated circuits, placing emphasis on the finite element method (FEM) and the beam propagation method (BPM) which have been extensively used in academic contexts and are well suited to a CAD environment.

An accurate and simple approach based on the scalar FEM has been presented for the analysis of dual-mode highly elliptical-core fibers [Eguchi and Koshiba, 1994], and the vector FEM has also been used for investing the behavior of a set of the first higher-order, four-fold degenerate modes of a circular core fiber whose core cross-section changes into an ellipse [Eguchi and Koshiba, 1995]. Kameda and Hosono [1995] have presented an optimization method for a polarization splitter constructed from a single core fiber and a fiber with a circular hollow pit outside the core. Hinata et al. [1994] have presented a design method for the single-polarization optical fiber which satisfies simultaneously the wide single-polarization bandwidth, large modal birefringence, and zero total dispersion at the wavelength of 1.55 mm. The improved point-matching method with the Mathieu function expansion for the analysis of a W-type highly-birefringent optical fiber with a hollow layer outside an elliptical core has been proposed [Krasinski et al., 1995]. Coupling efficiency between butt-jointed single-mode optical fibers through a gap has been evaluated with a newly modified BPM [Hotta et al., 1994a]. Yamauchi et al. [1994a] have calculated the pure bending loss of an optical fiber with a trench section by using the alternating-direction implicit finite difference method (FDM) and have discussed the mechanism of the oscillatory behavior of the loss.

Tapered velocity couplers have been utilized to construct an optical beam splitter [Geshiro and Hotta, 1994] and an optical polarization splitter [Hotta and Geshiro, 1994]. In order to reduce the size of an optical power divider of distributed-coupling type, uniformly distributed coupling, which is caused by step-like axial displacements of waveguides, has been introduced [Hotta et al., 1992]. A 1x3 coupled-waveguide optical power divider with linearly changing spacing has been analyzed with the implicit FDM, and the effect of the tilt-angle error on the power transmission has been investigated [Yamauchi et al., 1992]. The finite difference BPM (FD-BPM) has been used to analyze the insertion losses of hollow slab waveguides [Yamauchi, 1993] and of S-shaped dielectric slab bends [Yamauchi et al., 1994b]. Yasumoto et al. [1994b] have presented a coupled-mode analysis of a symmetric planar nonlinear directional coupler using a singular perturbation scheme.

To deal with wide-angle beam propagation, the fast Fourier transform BPM using a Pade approximant operator has been proposed [Yamauchi et al., 1994c], and to reduce quantization errors caused by a stepped approximation of the waveguide geometry, the FD-BPM using an oblique coordinate system has been proposed [Yamauchi et al., 1994d]. Furthermore, the generalized Douglas scheme has been incorporated into the FD-BPM [Yamauchi et al., 1995a] and into the Pade approximant FD-BPM [Yamauchi et al., 1995b].

Using the coupled-mode theory of Debye potentials, Hayata et al. [1993] have reported the theoretical formulation of coherent optical tunneling and the subsequent exchange of electromagnetic energy between two Mie-sized microspheres. Hayata and Koshiba [1995f] have shown analytically that application of an identity in conformal invariant field theories to multidimensional guided-wave optics predicts a generic family of modes with algebraic tails in the evanescent field.

B6.6. Interaction between Guided Waves and Electron Beams

The growth characteristics of an open-boundary Cherenkov laser have been analyzed by taking into account the decrease in the beam velocity due to the growth of the electromagnetic wave [Horinouchi and Shiozawa, 1993]. The characteristics of a Cherenkov laser for an electromagnetic wave with continuous frequency spectrum have been considered by Horinouchi et al. [1993].

It has been demonstrated that efficiency in energy transfer from the relativistic electron beam to the electromagnetic wave in free-electron lasers can be greatly enhanced by decreasing the phase velocity of the electromagnetic wave in accordance with the decrease in the beam velocity to keep the velocity synchronism between them. Shiozawa et al. [1994b] have shown that the characteristics of a Cherenkov laser are greatly improved by loading a nonlinear dielectric (Kerr-like medium) on it. Shiozawa and Mikawa [1994] have clarified that energy conversion efficiency in a dielectric-loaded Raman-type free-electron laser is greatly enhanced by gradually increasing the permittivity of the loaded dielectric in the direction of wave propagation. Shiozawa and Sata [1995] have shown that energy conversion efficiency in a Smith-Purcell free-electron laser is much improved by gradually changing one of the grating parameters along the grating waveguide.

Horinouchi et al. [1995] have investigated the nonlinear characteristics of a Cherenkov laser with the aid of the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method. The effect of gradual permittivity change in a Cherenkov laser on its characteristics has been discussed by Sata et al. [1995]. The amplification characteristics of a Cherenkov laser loaded with a nonlinear dielectric (Kerr-like medium) have been analyzed by the multilayer approximation method [Nishimura et al., 1995].

B7. Antennas

B7.1. Wire Antennas, Small Antennas, and Mobile Antennas

The study regarding wire antennas continues. Taguchi et al. [1994] have investigated a coplanar waveguide fed active dipole antenna for a television receiver. The design of an AM/FM-cellular mobile telephone triband antenna using coils as loads and a double sleeve has been presented [Egashira et al., 1992, 1994]. Murakami et al. [1995] have theoretically pointed out that a rectangular loop antenna can radiate a circularly polarized wave (CPW). A short helix backed by a cavity [Nakano and Mimaki, 1995] and a bifilar backfire helix [Nakano et al., 1993a] have also been studied numerically and experimentally.

Considerable attention has been paid to antennas for personal handy phone systems. Kumon et al. [1994] have numerically analyzed a modified transmission line antenna. Characteristics of a monopole antenna mounted on a conducting box have been evaluated using the Gelerkin-moment method [Yamaguchi et al., 1993] and the FD-TD method [Luebbers et al., 1992]. The effects of the conductivity and the permittivity of the dielectric layer which covers the conducting box have been investigated by Chen et al. [1993]. NEC2 has also been used to estimate the radiation patterns [Saitoh et al., 1995].

A microstrip antenna (MSA) has also received much attention. A feeding technique for obtaining broad-band and dual-band performances has been described by Sakaguchi et al. [1992]. The characteristics of a conformal MSA have been evaluated using the conformal grids FDTD method [Kashiwa et al., 1994]. The effects of a finite ground plane of a GPS MSA on the patterns have been analyzed by equivalent edge currents with modified edge representation [Ando et al., 1994]. A GPS MSA mounted on the roof of a car model has also been studied using the UTD [Natsuhara et al., 1994].

A monofilar Archimedean slot antenna which is electromagnetically coupled to a feed line has been analyzed numerically [Hirose et al., 1994]. Hirokawa et al. [1994] have calculated the external aperture admittance and radiation pattern of a narrow slot cut across an edge of a sectoral cylinder in terms of a spectrum of two-dimensional solutions. Optimal design of an offset-fed, twin-slot antenna element for millimeter-wave imaging arrays has been reported [Qian et al., 1994]. The radiation from a rectangular waveguide with a lossy flange coating has been studied both analytically and experimentally [Yoshitomi et al., 1994].

B7.2. Planar Antennas and Arrays

A high-Tc superconducting microstrip antenna was studied by Ishii et al. [1994] by modified spectral domain moment method. By three fluid-model and experimental results the effect of the conductor is taken into account. A high frequency asymptotic closed-form formula was derived by Miyashita et al. [1993] for the mutual admittance between two linearly polarized circular microstrip antennas located on different faces of a perfectly conducting wedge. The mutual coupling effects between two ports of dual slot-coupled circular microstrip antennas were investigated by Murakami et al. [1994] to obtain low mutual coupling effects.

A new slot arrangement of a radial line slot antenna was proposed to radiate circularly polarized conical beam by Tanaka et al. [1994b]. A wideband radial line slot antenna with a power divider was studied by Yamamoto et al. [1995] to halve a feed line length and to enhance band-edge gain. Hosono et al. [1995] investigated a radial line slot antenna with a concentric slot arrangement fed by a cavity where a rotating mode is excited to improve rotational symmetry.

A new type of cavity-fed circularly polarized radial line microstrip antenna was developed by Shibata et al. [1993] and a beam-tilt characteristics were investigated. A curl antenna was proposed by Nakano et al. [1993b] and a cavity-fed circular array with 168 curl elements was designed for a direct broadcasting satellite receiving antenna. The improvement of the isolation characteristics of a self-diplexing array was reported by Chujo et al. [1993]. A circularly polarized two-layer ring patch antenna is used as a receiving and transmitting element. A two-arm Archimedean spiral antenna backed by a plane conductor operating in the second mode was studied numerically and experimentally by Yamauchi et al. [1994e].

A reflection cancelling slot pair for a linearly-polarized slotted waveguide array was proposed by Sakakibara et al. [1994] and its analysis, design and experimental results were presented in comparison with the conventional resonant slots. Crank lines on a dielectric substrate backed by a conducting plate for circular polarization were studied by Nakano et al. [1994] and the guided wavelength was evaluated from the current distribution. A practical design procedure for a circularly polarized series-fed printed array was proposed by Naito et al. [1994a]. The array element is composed of a strip dipole with a window and a slot, and Naito et al. [1994b] studied its characteristics by an FDTD method. From the viewpoint of frequency bandwidth, an optimum spacing between the strip and the slot is determined.

Ogawa et al. [1992] studied multipath suppression characteristics of a sample matrix inversion adaptive array in a high-speed digital land mobile communication environment. A future prospect and past development of adaptive array processors were summarized in Ogawa and Kikuma [1992]. A phased array composed of microstrip patch antennas was designed by Kuwahara et al. [1994] for scanning a vertical shaped beam over a horizontal range of 80 degrees. Scanning characteristics of a multibeam phased array antenna on the ETS-VI satellite for S-band intersatellite communications were studied by Tanaka et al. [1993].

A rectenna array was proposed for an unmanned platform flying in the stratosphere and a fundamental microwave power transmission experiment was carried out at 2.45 GHz by Ito et al. [1993]. A circular microstrip antenna with notches to reduce harmonic radiations was experimentally studied by Muramatsu et al. [1993] for the reception of microwave power transmission.

An optically controlled array antenna with a two-laser model was proposed by Konishi et al. [1992] and its microwave aperture distribution is generated using Fourier transform and optical/electrical conversion. Uehara et al. [1992] developed lens-coupled antenna imaging arrays for millimeter- and sub-millimeter-wave frequencies. They were studied from the viewpoint of the matching with the detectors and optical systems. Wave guiding properties of a periodic metal plate-loaded dielectric slab structure were investigated by Dawn et al. [1992] for obtaining surface wave antennas with broadside radiation and low VSWR.

B7.3. Reflector and Lens Antennas

In the field of satellite borne antenna, Shoki et al. [1993] developed a breadboard model of the 22 GHz-band broadcasting multibeam satellite antenna. In order to obtain the required beam-isolation, each beam is synthesized by one large-sized main horn and several small-sized sub-horns.

On the other hand, Naito et al. [1994c] designed a wide beam-spacing multibeam earth-station antenna. This antenna simultaneously accesses four CSs (Communications Satellite) and one BS (Broadcasting Satellite) for Japan's domestic services.

In the large-sized reflector antenna, Deguchi et al. [1993] realized a very surface accuracy by applying the radio holographic metrology.

Woo et al. [1995] proposed an in-building wireless system using semi-spherical reflector.

B7.4. Antenna Measurements

In the field of antenna measurements, time-domain superresolution techniques based on MUSIC algorithm were successfully applied to antenna measurements. Yamada et al. [1993] presented the antenna gain measurement method when antennas are located in the multipath environment. Ogawa et al. [1993] showed an antenna pattern measurement method by using the similar method presented by Yamada et al. [1993]. The advantage of these methods is to use narrower frequency bandwidth than the direct fast Fourier transform (FFT) method. Yamada et al. [1994] also applied the above superresolution technique to measure the scattering center of a conductive sphere.

Ohshima et al. [1995] improved the conventional MUSIC algorithm which assumes that each signal does not have a frequency dependence other than delay proportional to frequency due to a time delay. They presented realistic model which assume the signal to have an exponential amplitude frequency dependence. They applied the improved method to measure the scattering of a conducting sphere.

As the growth of mobile communication systems, accurate radiation efficiency evaluation techniques of small antennas have become important and Wheeler cap method has been considered. Ida and Ito [1994] analyzed the effect of Wheeler cap by moment method where they modeled the cap by surface patch. They showed the good agreement between measurement and calculation in the case of small loop antenna. Muramoto et al. [1995] also presented investigation results of Wheeler cap analyzed by moment method where they modeled the cap by wired grid. They showed the validity of Wheeler cap method except some frequency points where the cap resonates and cleared the reasonable size of the cap.

B8. Propagation in Random, Inhomogeneous, Nonlinear and Complex Media

A theory of a fixed scatterer embedded in a random media has been developed by Furutsu [1993a] based on the Bethe-Salpeter equation. To analyze experimental data on the attenuation of millimeter and optical waves in rain, Ito [1993] has proposed a small-angle solution of the radiative transfer (RT) equation for the phase function with half of the scattered power removed from the small angle in the forward direction. Ito and Oguchi [1994] have obtained the second-order multiple scattering solution of the vector RT equation to calculate the circular depolarization ratio (CDR) of radar returns from rain. The predicted values have been found to give a general trend of the CDR in comparison with numerical solutions. Ito et al., [1995] have applied the same approach as used in the CDR to the evaluation of the linear depolarization ratio (LDR) at X and Ka Bands. A good agreement of the computed LDR values with observations from an air-borne dual polarization radar suggests that multiple scattering processes really exist in the rain cell. The diffusion of a narrow beam waves in discrete random media has been discussed by Ito [1995] for the diffuse surface reflection taken into account at a boundary.

Tateiba et al. [1993] have presented the effective dielectric constants of media where dielectric spheres are randomly distributed and have compared the results with those obtained by conventional EFA, QCA, and QCA-CP methods. Tateiba and Nanbu [1993] have investigated the condition for many dielectric spheres to be randomly distributed in view of expression of a coherent field. Tateiba [1995] has expressed the coherent and incoherent electromagnetic waves scattered by many particles in terms of solutions of integral equations.

For propagation in turbulent media, Furutsu [1993b] has derived a solution for intensity correlation functions of focused beam waves using the Lagrange variational principle in dynamics and have presented the zeroth- and first-order expressions similar to those obtained by an improved two-scale method. Furutsu and Ito [1993] have obtained the first-order solutions of the moment equation to evaluate the scintillation of focused beam waves in a turbulent medium for a variety of locations of the focal plane. Fujisaki and Tateiba [1994] have presented a spatial filtering method for reducing ill-effects of atmospheric turbulence on holographic imaging using airborne radars.

Many papers have appeared on various kinds of solitons in nonlinear media. The multidimensional optical soliton waves in quadratic and cubic nonlinear media have been presented by Hayata and Koshiba [1993a, 1994c] and by Hayata et al. [1995a]. Hayata and Koshiba [1994d] have obtained a bright-kink symbion resulting from the combined effect of self-trapping and intrapulse stimulated Raman scattering by using a Hartree approximation for a multidimensional generalized NLSE (nonlinear Schrodinger equation). A kink soliton with the Fermi-Dirac distribution, which arises from the coexisting quadratic and cubic nonlinearities in a dispersive medium, has been presented [Hayata and Koshiba, 1994e]. For cubic-quintic optical nonlinearities, the Fermi-Dirac kink solitary-wave solution [Hayata and Koshiba, 1995b] and the stability of multidimensional solitary waves [Hayata et at., 1995b] have been studied. Both bright and dark types of solitary waves have been predicted by Hayata and Koshiba [1995c] as a particular solution of a NLSE with two power-law nonlinear terms. The combined effect of chirality and nonlinearity of media has been found to give rise to electromagnetic spatial solitons with unique features [Hayata and Koshiba, 1995d]. In the presence of the second- and third-order nonlinearities, a single far-infrared pulse interacting with transverse-optic phonons in a crystal medium has been shown to offer an algebraic solitary wave [Hayata and Koshiba, 1995e]. The soliton propagation in a Kerr medium exhibiting a fractal nonlocal response [Hayata et al., 1995c] and the ultrashort pulsed-beam propagation in a Kerr-type bulk medium [Hayata et al., 1995d] have been studied.

Hayata and Koshiba [1992] have formulated a theory of the second-harmonic generation from an optically trapped microsphere with Mie size. An efficient method has been proposed for generating terahertz radiation by surface-emitting difference-frequency mixing from a Mie-sized crystalline microsphere that is illuminated by focused laser beams [Hayata and Koshiba, 1994f]. A method for generating femtosecond UV pulses in a beta-barium borate by frequency doubling of femtosecond pulses from a pulse laser has also been proposed [Hayata and Koshiba, 1993b].

The scattering of random rough surfaces has been analyzed using a stochastic functional approach. For the two-dimensional waveguide with perturbed boundary, Ogura and Wang [1994] have obtained the stochastic Green function in terms of Wiener-Ito expansion and have studied perturbed wave modes. Ogura and Takahashi [1995] have shown the backscattering enhancement arising from the second Wiener kernel for the scattering from a rough surface with Dirichlet and Neumann boundary. Wang et al. [1995a, 1995b] have studied the effect of slightly rough boundary of optical fiber on the propagating modes and the enhanced scattering from a planar waveguide structure with a slightly rough boundary. Scattering of electromagnetic waves from a slightly random conducting surface has been studied by Ogura et al. [1995] in detail in connection with the reciprocity, co- and cross-polarized scattering, and backscattering enhancement has been shown to occur again as a result of reciprocal double scattering processes.
