Solutions of Maxwell's equations for general nonperiodic waves in lossy media

Solutions of Maxwell's equations in lossy media for signals excited by a general applied source at the boundary plane are given. The excitation at the boundary plane can be through either electric or magnetic functions of any general time variation. No additional terms need be added to Maxwell's equations to obtain the solutions. Excitations by an electric step, exponential, and finite duration sinusoidal; functions of time are given as examples.<
