PhD Position : Simulation of the Propagation above a Relief In a Three-dimensional Environment

Location

French National University of Civil Aviation (ENAC), Toulouse, France
and Sino-European Institute of Aviation Engineering (SIAE), Tianjin, China


Context

Modelling the long-range propagation is of great importance for many applications, including surveillance (radar), communication (satellite TV), geoscience (radio-occultation), and navigation (GNSS).

One of the most used method for such modellings is the parabolic equation method. Based on a split-step Fourier algorithm (SSF), it is fast and accurate to describe the fields in 2D scenes. 3D versions of the parabolic equation have been developed. However, they are not used in practice because they are very compute-intensive.
