Disruption of satellite-to-ground station communication links by nuclear fireballs

Creators

Description

Diffraction around nuclear fireballs near the line of sight for satellite-to-ground communication links is calculated numerically. The geometry allows assumption of geometric optics and plane-wave signals. The fireball is modeled as an opaque disk normal to the line of sight. The effect of disk shape and edge taper is considered. 13 figures, 1 table
