Abstract-The Unified Spectral Technique (UST) is a rigorous analytical approach for calculating power fluxes of any type of source and losses in multilayered dielectric structures of canonical geometries. This method is a reasonable addition to the eigenfunctions technique. An important advantage of the method is that the power fluxes are represented in an explicit form via their spectra, avoiding cumbersome calculations via field components. In this paper, this approach is specified for a case of planar multilayered structures, including those made of composite materials. Results of computations for the simplest types of radiators (electric and magnetic dipoles) in proximity of parallel-plane composite layers, comprised of a dielectric base and conducting inclusions with concentrations below and above percolation threshold, are analyzed.

Abstract-Near-field behavior of elementary electric and magnetic dipoles close to a plane layer (or layers) of engineered composite materials is analyzed using the rigorous analytical approach. Some results of computations are represented for composite media containing conductive inclusions. These composites provide shielding mainly due to absorption of electromagnetic energy. The effect of conductivity of inclusions and their geometry (through their aspect ratio) on the absorption and radiation efficiency of a radiator near composite layers is analyzed.
