Recursive algorithm and accurate computation of dyadic Green's functions for stratified uniaxial anisotropic media

A recursive algorithm is adopted for the computation of dyadic Green's functions in three-dimensional stratified uniaxial anisotropic media with arbitrary number of layers. Three linear equation groups for computing the coefficients of the Som- merfeld integrals are obtained according to the continuity condition of electric and magnetic fields across the interface between different layers, which are in corre- spondence with the TM wave produced by a vertical unit electric dipole and the TE or TM wave produced by a horizontal unit electric dipole, respectively. All the linear equation groups can be solved via the recursive algorithm. The dyadic Green's functions with source point and field point being in any layer can be conveniently obtained by merely changing the position of the elements within the source term of the linear equation groups. The problem of singularities occurring in the Sommer- feld integrals is efficiently solved by deforming the integration path in the complex plane. The expression of the dyadic Green's functions provided by this paper is terse in form and is easy to be programmed, and it does not overflow. Theoretical analysis and numerical examples show the accuracy and effectivity of the algo-rithm.     

Efficient approach and application of the Green’s functions in spatial domain in multilayered media

Based on the dipole source method, all components of the Green＇s functions in spectral domain are restructured concisely by four basis functions, and in terms of the two-level discrete complex image method （DCIM） with the high order Sommerfeld identities, an efficient algorithm for closed-form Green＇s functions in spatial domain in multilayered media is presented. This new work enjoys the advantages of the surface wave pole extraction directly carried out by the generalized integral path without troubles of that all components of Green＇s function in spectral domain should be reformed respectively in transmission line network analogy, and then the Green＇s functions for mixed-potential integral equation （MPIE） analysis in both near-field and far-field in multilayered media are obtained. In addition, the curl operator for coupled field in MPIE is avoided conveniently. It is especially applicable and useful to characterize the electromagnetic scattering by, and radiation in the presence of, the electrically large 3-D objects in multilayered media. The numerical results of the S-parameters of a microstrip periodic bandgap （PBG） filter, the radar cross section （RCS） of a large microstrip antenna array, the characteristics of scattering, and radiation from the three-dimensional （3-D） targets in multilayered media are obtained, to demonstrate better effectiveness and accuracy of this technique.     

Accurate evaluation of Green’s functions in a layered medium by SDP-FLAM

Based on local Taylor expansions on the complex plane, a method for fast locating all modes (FLAM) of spectral-domain Green’s Functions in a planar layered medium is developed in this paper. SDP-FLAM, a combination of FLAM with the steepest descent path algorithm (SDP), is employed to accurately evaluate the spatial-domain Green’s functions in a layered medium. According to the theory of complex analysis, the relationship among the poles, branch points and Riemann sheets is also analyzed rigorously. To inverse the Green’s functions from spectral to spatial domain, SDP-FLAM method and discrete complex image method (DCIM) are applied to the non-near field region and the near filed region, respectively. The significant advantage of SDP-FLAM lies in its capability of calculating Green’s functions in a layered medium of moderate thickness with loss or without loss. Some numerical examples are presented to validate SDP-FLAM method.
