Abstract

Expressions for the surface impedance and admittance, and the corresponding Fresnel reflection coefficients are derived for uniform plane TM and TE waves which are obliquely incident upon plane layered anisotropic media. The permittivity and permabi-lity tensors of each layer are assumed to be symmetric, and the propagation vector of the incident wave lies in one of the planes of anisotropy.

The results can be used directly in well known formulas for groundwave propagation over isotropic media, and so there is no need to rederive these formulas for the various horizontal or vertical, electrical or magnetic dipole sources. The effect of the anisotropy upon the wave tilt is also discussed.
