  • Abstract
    Precursor wave occurs when wideband electromagnetic pulse propagates through temporally dispersive and absorptive media. In this paper, the mechanisms of precursor wave generation and propagation in lossy and dispersive media are studied for radar pulses with different rise time and carrier frequencies. Simulation results are presented to discuss the possibility of precursor waves generated through dispersive media for radar imagery.
