Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Scattering Matrices for Ionosphere Models
For a given incident plane wave, the electromagnetic field in each slab is known to consist of a linear combination of four elementary plane waves, two upgoing and two downcoming. The coefficients of these elementary plane waves are related by the continuity conditions on the electric and magnetic field across every interface separating a pair of slabs. In this manner, it is possible, by ordinary algebraic manipulation to determine the amplitudes of the outgoing plane waves in terms of the amplitudes of the incoming plane waves. This connection is given by a matrix known as the scattering matrix.
