Feasibility study of eigenmode propagation through 2D models of vegetation

What is it about?

As a general observation, radio waves usually cannot propagate through vegetation (e.g., forest), as they are highly attenuated in the random media due to scattering. This work uses antenna beamforming to tackle wave propagation in vegetation. The objective is to create a waveform that passes the unordered structure without significant scattering and attenuation. The approach of eigenmode propagation was investigated for radio wave applications, specifically for the medium of an unordered cylinder set representing an agroforest section. The calculation of such eigenmode waveform is presented. This work aims to perform a feasibility study for radio-wave applications by applying the method of eigenmodes to obtain scattering invariant wave propagation in an unordered medium.
