A semianalytical solution for the propagation of electromagnetic waves in 3-D lossy orthotropic media

摘要

We derive an analytical solution for electromagnetic waves propagating in a 3-D lossy orthotropic medium for which the electric permittivity tensor is proportional to the magnetic permeability tensor. The solution is ob- tained through a change of coordinates that transforms the spatial differential operator into a pure Laplace op- erator and the differential equations for the electric and magnetic field components into pure Helmholtz equa- tions.
