Forward and Backward Plane Waves in a Generalized Isotropic Medium

  • Published:
Russian Physics Journal Aims and scope

Analytical expressions are derived for the complex wave number and characteristic wave impedance of plane waves propagating in a generalized isotropic medium with electric and magnetic losses. This approach does not require the operation of taking the square root of a complex number.
