Radiation from a dipole near a general anisotropic layer

The radiation properties of a dipole source located near a gyrotropic layer are investigated analytically. Both electric and magnetic anisotropy of the most general form are assumed. Fourier-transform domain field representations in conjunction with matrix analysis techniques are used to facilitate the analysis. Transmission phenomena through the general anisotropic layer are investigated by examining the radiation patterns at the far-field region. The analysis is also used to derive the response of the anisotropic layer to an incident plane wave. In this case, the transmission and reflection coefficient matrices are obtained.<
