Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Phenomenological Theory of Multi-Mode Surface Wave Excitation, Propagation and Diffraction: I. Plane Structures
It is well known that surface waves can be excited and propagated along particular idealized electromagnetic structures. Examples are dielectric coated surfaces, dielectric slabs and corrugated or laminated structures.* In so far as the surface wave feature is concerned, it is known that the details of the structure may be suppressed and replaced by an impedance boun dary condition.ej]. Subsequent developments showed that the use of impedance boundary conditions facilitated the solution of more complex problems such as the excitation, propagation and diffraction of surface waves on structures with discontinuities in impedance and geometry l5-2h]. The pheno menological representation by an impedance boundary condition is also useful in analyzing the effect of other structures such as absorbers and surfaces with anisotropic conductivity [6.
