The proposed method is based on the application of the integral form of the Maxwell-Ampere equation and the solution of a set of auxiliary equations to advance the field components. It has the ability to handle one or several frequency dependent thin layers embedded in a frequency dependent medium without solving high-order differential equations. To validate our proposed method, we compare the obtained results with analytical solutions and with numerical references in both time domain and frequency domain.
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.
