Dyadic Green’s function (DGF) is a powerful and elegant way of solving electromagnetic problems in the multilayered media. In this paper, we introduce the electric and magnetic DGFs in free space, respectively. Furthermore, the symmetry of different kinds of DGFs is proved. This paper focuses on the application of DGF in a two-layer model. By introducing the universal form of the vector wave functions in space rectangular, cylindrical and spherical coordinates, the corresponding DGFs are obtained. We derive the concise and explicit formulas for the electric fields represented by a vertical electric dipole source. It is expected that the proposed DGF can be extended to some more electric field problem in the two-layer model.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
