SOLVING THE PROPAGATION OF ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVE IN A SIMPLE TWO—DIMENSI8ONAL INHOMOGENEOUS MEDIUM BASED ON SYMPLECTIC GEOMETRICAL THEORY

摘要

A new symplectic geometrical high-frequency approximation method for solving the propagation of electromagnetic wave in the two-dimensional inhomogeneous medium is used in this paper. The propagating caustic problem of electromagnetic wave is translated into non-caustic problem by the coordinate transform on the symplectic space. The high-frequency approximation solution that includes the caustic region is obtained with the method combining with the geometrical optics. The drawback that the solution in the caustic region can not be obtained with geometrical optics is overcome by this method. The results coincide well with that of finite element method.
