Theory and Computation of Electromagnetic Fields in Layered Media

＂This book provides a detailed, up-to-date and comprehensive overview of both the theory and the numerical methods to determine electromagnetic fields in layered media. It begins with an introduction to Maxwell Equations, fundamental relations of the electromagnetic theory, and Green’s function concept and definitions. It then moves on to solving canonical problems of vertical and horizontal dipole radiation, describing Method of Moments (MoM) schemes and integral equations governing EM fields, and explaining Michalski-Zheng’s theory of mixed-potential Green’s function representation in multi-layered medium. The book also includes chapters on evaluation of Sommerfeld integrals, procedures for evaluation of the far field, theory and application of hierarchical matrices, and more.＂--
