Asymptotic Theory on Ultrawideband Pulse Propagation in Dispersive Media

摘要

This grant was used to continue support of our graduate level research program into the complete asymptotic description of ultrawideband signal, ultrashort pulse electromagnetic wave propagation in causally dispersive media and waveguiding systems. Our long-term research goal in this important area is to develop a rigorous, uniform asymptotic description of ultrawideband electromagnetic pulsed beam propagation, reflection, and transmission phenomena in both lossy dielectric and conducting dispersive media that is valid for arbitrarily sort rise-time spatial and temporal dynamics of the field as it propagates through the dispersive material.
