Abstract
As an alternative method to the discrete split-step Fourier (DSSF) method, the split-step wavelet method has recently been derived. This method based on a wavelet decomposition of the field is efficient and accurate in simulating the long-range propagation of electromagnetic waves in the low troposphere. In this article, to further improve the computational efficiency and take full advantage of wavelet characteristics, a wavelet-to-wavelet propagation (WWP) method is proposed. The propagation, variable refractivity, and apodization are accounted in the wavelet domain. The computational complexity is reduced, since no transforms are performed between wave fields and wavelet coefficients. This method works well for the propagation over a planar ground with a constant impedance. When a variable impedance ground condition and/or an irregular relief are considered, a hybridization with the split-step wavelet method is proposed. These methods are tested and validated by means of numerical experiments, showing very good efficiency and accuracy.
