Propagation of electromagnetic waves in two media separated by a variable interface

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento B (1971-1996)

Summary

The investigation of the propagation of electromagnetic waves in two media separated by a variable interface has required the use of the imaging space of a Hankel transformation. The reversal of such a transformation produces an integral representation, which in this case has proved to be valid for all frequencies. Moreover, no depolarization appears in the field as long as the variation in the interface remains small and is directly dependent on the height of the second medium.

Riassunto

Lo studio della propagazione di onde electromagnetiche in due mezzi separati da un'interfaccia variabile ha richiesto l'uso dello spazio delle immagini di una trasformazione di Hankel. L'inverso di tale trasformazione produce una rappresentazione integrale, che in questo caso si è dimostrata valida per tutte le frequenze. Inoltre, nessuna depolarizzazione appare nel campo fintanto che la variazione nell'interfaccia rimane piccola e direttamente dipendente dall'altezza del secondo mezzo.
