Dispersive distortions of a radio-wave pulse in a double-resonance gaseous medium

摘要

The problem on dispersive distortions of an electromagnetic pulse in a gaseous medium with two isolated resonant frequencies is solved analytically. The solution is obtained directly in the time region and, thus, is not the result of calculations of the Fourier integral. Without introducing additional assumptions, it is possible to study the regularities and the features of the process of propagation of pulses caused by variations of both their initial characteristics and the parameters of the propagation medium. As an example, the solution is applied to describe the distortions of the two-frequency pulse of subnanosecond duration in the terrestrial atmosphere.
