Abstract

The diffusion behavior of electromagnetic (EM) waves in two dimensional (2-D) multipath media is studied through integral equation based full wave Monte Carlo simulations. The influences of some physical factors are explored, among which the area density of the embedded obstacles manifests itself to be the most important one in determining wave diffusion. A lossy system starts to behave diffusively when the area density approximately exceeds 5%, and the diffusion equations are generally applicable for predicting power decay. At low densities, the power-distance relation of the waves appears to follow power laws. The sizes and shapes of the obstacles have a secondary effect on the diffusion of waves. Whenever a system contains small objects or objects with reflecting sides, the waves therein are more diffusive and the diffusion equation approximates the reality more accurately. Absorption loss decreases wave diffusion in general, but our results show that the diffusion equation for a system with very lossy but small obstacles can work very well for predicting power decay.
