The layered medium Green's function - A new look

This paper describes an alternate method to formulate the layered medium Gr een's function suitable for computational electromagnetics. The Green's fun ction is symmetrized so that the reciprocity theorem becomes obvious. Also, the vector differential operators are explicit so their they can be transf erred to operate on the basis function and the testing function, as is ofte n done in the method of moments. This alternative formulation of the layere d medium Greens function makes it simple to integrate with other computatio nal electromagnetic methods. (C) 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
