Electromagnetic Scattering From Inhomogeneous Planar Layered Media Using Notation of Propagators

Abstract

In this paper, the reflection and transmission of an electromagnetic plane wave from (through) planar layered of inhomogeneous bi-anisotropic media are considered. Inhomogeneous layers are decomposed into thin homogeneous sub-layers, and the method of propagators is used for analysis of the wave interaction with planar multi-layered of homogenous bi-anisotropic media. The most interesting property of the presented method is its systematic approach. Finally, the validity of the method is verified by considering some special types of bi-anisotropic media and comparing the obtained results from the presented method with the other reported methods.
