Research

When electromagnetic waves encounter particles in the air they either scatter or are absorbed. Mie scattering is a mathematical model used to describe the degree to which electromagnetic waves scatter or are absorbed based on certain parameters such as wave function, particle type and size etc. My goal is to use this mathematical model for applications with radar for weather reading purposes. The goal is to send a signal between two drones and, using an Mie code, be able to determine values for humidity and later other values too.
