P. Hillion, PROPAGATION OF ELECTROMAGNETIC PULSES IN AN INFINITE DRUDE MEDIUM, IEEE transactions on electromagnetic compatibility, 39(4), 1997, pp. 361-365
We analyze the propagation of an harmonic pulse launched at t = 0 with
some boundary condition at z = 0 in an infinite Drude medium, This in
itial-boundary value problem is studied analytically in the low-and hi
gh-frequency limits by use of the Laplace transformation and subsequen
t application of asymptotic methods for the evaluation of the requisit
e integrals, We discuss the qualitative features of these approximatio
ns.
