Abstract :
A simple and efficient method of high-frequency electromagnetic pulse simulation is proposed. An asymptotic solution yields a paraxial version of geometric optics with complex eikonals and amplitudes determined from numerical solution of the parabolic wave equation. As an example, radar pulse propagation over realistic irregular terrain is considered.
