Abstract :
The purpose of this work is to study the propagation of the lateral wave over long distances in the earth and see what the scattering signal is at the radar system. This study is done through simulations with the finite difference time domain (FDTD) method [K.S. Yee, 1966; A. Taflove, 1995].
