Decoding microwave modulation transfer: The impact of dissipation through stochastic processes

Abstract

Abstract An anomalous transfer of modulation from a modulated microwave beam (F2) to an unmodulated one (F1) has been experimentally demonstrated through accurate delay time measurements. These results are analyzed according to two possible interpretations: one based on an electromagnetic approach as reported elsewhere, and the other based on a purely stochastic model. This latter model, made up of random zig‐zag paths, is the focus of the current paper. It is demonstrated that it is possible to obtain a plausible description of the experimental data.
