Abstract :
The parabolic equation is a simplification of the wave equation that admits an efficient full wave solution to the problem of microwave propagation in a two-dimensional refractive index structure. Field strength diagrams for propagation in the presence of typical elevated ducting layers are given. The fields are significantly more complicated than can be predicted by one-dimensional mode methods
