In this section, we demonstrate that the first order approximation of WKBJ is the same as the amplitude
preserving one-way wave equation for v=v(z).
The one-way wave equation with the WKBJ amplitude correction is

(7) |
The WKBJ amplitude correction term can be rewritten as
| |
(8) |
Then in equation (8) can be linearized to , so we have
| |
(9) |
From
and
we have
| |
(10) |
Because
| |
(11) |
and from the dispersion relation , we have
| |
(12) |
and
| |
(13) |
From equation (8) to equation (13), we have
| |
(14) |
So equation (7) can be rewritten as
| |
(15) |
| (16) |
Comparing the amplitude preserving one-way wave equation (equation (4))
with first order approximation of WKBJ (equation (16)),
we find they are same.
So we demonstrate theoretically that the amplitude preserving one-way wave equation is equivalent to the first
order approximation of WKBJ.
