Lh. Puska et Av. Lindell, Electromagnetic source decomposition for generalized decomposable bi-anisotropic media, J ELECTROM, 13(11), 1999, pp. 1477-1491
The classical TE/TM decomposition theory, valid for isotropic and uniaxiall
y anisotropic media, has recently been generalized to a class of bi-anisotr
opic media. In such a decomposable medium any electromagnetic field can be
decomposed into two individual electromagnetic fields, an a-field and a b-f
ield, satisfying certain polarization conditions. The natural continuation
of the theory is to decompose the electromagnetic sources that is the topic
of the present paper. The differential equations for the a- and b-sources
are derived and seen to generalize the previous results. Also one example o
f possible source decomposition is suggested.
