5 Scattering by Simple Structures

In this chapter, we will examine the formulation and solution of the electromagnetic scattering problem, wherein a given source or incident field radiates in the presence of a material obstacle. Once again, the focus in this chapter will be on the use of differential equations to describe the fields; in Chapter 7 the same classes of problems will be tackled by integral equation methods.

5.1 DIPOLE RADIATION OVER A HALF-SPACE

Consider a vertical electric dipole (VED) located at a height z₀ above the interface between two media: a half-space z < 0 whose medium parameters are ( $eq696.jpg$ = ϵ₂ − jσ₂/ω, µ₂) and a region above the interface whose parameters are ( $eq697.jpg$ , µ₁). For definiteness, we might think of ...
