In this work we show analytically and numerically that wave transport through random waveguides can be modeled as a diffusion with an inhomogeneous diffusion coefficient (IDC). In localized regime, IDC retains the memory of the source…

This paper provides an analysis of radio wave scattering for frequencies ranging from the microwave to the Terahertz band (e.g., 1 GHz - 1 THz), by studying the scattering power reradiated from various types of materials with different…

We demonstrate how an effective density of states can be derived from the S-matrix describing a coupled-channel system. Besides the locations of poles, the phase of the determinant of the S-matrix encodes essential details in characterizing…
