Abstract

In this paper, the computational study of nonlinear modulation of wave propagation in model media was carried out. The models studied are the Free Space Model (FSM), the Modified Rojas Model (MRM) and the Square Power Model (SPM). The change in the dielectric constant due to electromagnetic (EM) wave field that propagates through a medium is a typical non-linearity. The basic equations that govern the propagation of electromagnetic waves in nonlinear media were derived using Maxwell’s equations. We obtained the numerical solution of the equations for different models of wave-media properties using fourth order Runge-Kutta scheme implemented in MATLAB software. The spatial EM wave profile graphic displays were supplemented by the symmetric spatial Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) analysis. The MRM model is essentially an EM wave attenuator. Complicated as the wave profile may look, the FFT showed attenuated wave of one wave number amidst background noise. However, at the fundamental frequencyf_0=47.7×&
