Full-wave simulation of high-frequency electromagnetic propagation through inhomogeneous plasma

The propagation of EM radiation past wavelength-sized inhomogeneities is not well understood, yet is of importance for both microwave heating and diagnostic applications in tokamaks. The work presented in this thesis improves this understanding; for this purpose, EMIT-3D, a new finite-difference tim...
