Abstract
The electromagnetic field of a horizontal electric dipole in the presence of a four-layered region is examined in detail. Analysis and computations show that the properties for the electromagnetic field of a horizontal dipole in the presence of a four-layered region are similar to those for the corresponding three-layered case. It should be noted that both the trapped surface wave and the lateral wave are affected extensively by the thicknesses of the two dielectric layers. In practical applications, we can change the thicknesses of the upper and lower dielectric layers to fulfil the required results.
