Jr. Wait, ON HARMUTHS CORRECTION OF MAXWELLS EQUATIONS FOR PULSE TRANSMISSION IN LOSSY MEDIA, IEEE transactions on electromagnetic compatibility, 35(4), 1993, pp. 486-488
It is shown that Harmuth's ''magnetic conductivity'' term is not neede
d to predict the transient response for plane-wave transmission in a h
omogeneous lossy medium. Thus his repeated harsh criticisms of Stratto
n's classic analysis, via Laplace Transforms, are not justified.
