Time-Domain Electromagnetic Leaky Waves

A causality preserving interpretation of the electromagnetic (EM) leaky-wave (LW) propagation in space and time is proposed for the first time. The Cagniard-deHoop (CdH) joint transform technique is applied for elucidating the relation between time-domain (TD) head waves (HWs), body waves (BWs), Cherenkov wave effects, and LWs. It is...

Time-Domain Analysis of Thin-Wire Structures Based on the Cagniard-DeHoop Method of Moments

Thin-wire structures in the presence or absence of a ground plane are analyzed numerically in the time domain (TD) with the aid of the Cagniard-DeHoop method of moments (CdH-MoM). It is demonstrated that the TD solution of such problems can be cast into the form of discrete time-convolution equations. Under the assumption of piecewise linear...

Pulsed EM Field Scattering From a Narrow Superconducting Strip: A Solution Based on the Marching-On-In-Time Cagniard-DeHoop Method

Pulsed electromagnetic (EM) scattering from a relatively narrow superconducting strip is analyzed with the aid of the EM reciprocity theorem and the Cagniard-DeHoop (CdH) technique. The analysis yields a stable convolution-type equation that is solved using the marching-on-in-time (MOT) technique for coefficients representing the time-domain (TD...

Loop-to-Loop Pulsed Electromagnetic Signal Transfer Across a Thin Metal Screen With Drude-Type Dispersive Behavior

A full analytic time-domain analysis is presented for a canonical problem of electromagnetic interference related to the operation of integrated-circuit devices at optical frequencies, where metal screens and substrates can no longer be characterized as perfect electrical conductors, but the plasmonic behavior of conduction electrons in the...
