The closed-form Green's functions (CFGF), derived for the vector and scalar potentials in planar multilayer media, have been revisited to clarify some issues and misunderstandings on the derivation of these Green's functions. In addition, the range of validity of these Green's functions is assessed with and without explicit evaluation of the surface wave contributions. As it is well-known, the derivation of the CFGF begins with the approximation of the spectral-domain Green's functions by complex exponentials, and continues with applying the Sommerfeld identity to cast these approximated spectral-domain Green's functions into the space domain in closed forms. Questions and misunderstandings of this derivation, which have mainly originated from the approximation process of the spectral-domain Green's functions in terms of complex exponentials, can be categorized and discussed under the topics of: 1) branch-point contributions; 2) surface wave pole contributions; and 3) the accuracy of the obtained CFGF. When these issues are clarified, the region of validity of the CFGF so obtained may be defined better. Therefore, in this paper, these issues will be addressed first, and then their origins and possible remedies will be provided with solid analysis and numerical demonstrations.

Spherical wave expansion of the time-domain free-space Dyadic Green's function Azizoglu, SA; Koç, Seyit Sencer; Buyukdura, OM (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2004-03-01) The importance of expanding Green's functions, particularly free-space Green's functions in terms of orthogonal wave functions is practically self-evident when frequency domain scattering problems are of interest. With the relatively recent and widespread interest in time-domain scattering problems, similar expansions of Green's functions are expected to be useful in the time-domain. In this paper, an expression, expanded in terms of orthogonal spherical vector wave functions, for the time-domain free-space...
BLOCH IMPEDANCE ANALYSIS FOR A LEFT HANDED TRANSMISSION LINE Sabah, Cumali; Urbani, Fabio; Uckun, Savas (Walter de Gruyter GmbH, 2012-09-01) In this study, the dispersion relation and the frequency dependence of Bloch impedance in a left handed transmission line (LH-TL) is carried out using the F-matrix formulation and Bloch-Floquet theorem. The artificial LH-TL formed by periodic lumped elements is described and the F-matrix, dispersion relation and the Bloch impedance are formulated according to this description. Numerical results for lossless and lossy LH-TL are presented and discussed.
Enhancing the accuracy of the interpolations and anterpolations in MLFMA Ergül, Özgür Salih (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2006-01-01) We present an efficient technique to reduce the interpolation and anterpolation (transpose interpolation) errors in the aggregation and disaggregation processes of the multilevel fast multipole algorithm (MLFMA), which is based on the sampling of the radiated and incoming fields over all possible solid angles, i.e., all directions on the sphere. The fields sampled on the sphere are subject to various operations, such as interpolation, aggregation, translation, disaggregation, anterpolation, and integration....
Derivation of length extension formulas for complementary sets of sequences using orthogonal filterbanks Candan, Çağatay (Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), 2006-11-23) A method for the construction of complementary sets of sequences using polyphase representation of orthogonal filterbanks is presented. It is shown that the case of two-channel filterbanks unifies individually derived length extension formulas for complementary sequences into a common framework and the general M-channel case produces novel formulas for the extension of complementary sets of sequences. The presented technique can also be used to generate polyphase and multilevel sequences.
Iterative leap-field domain decomposition method: a domain decomposition finite element algorithm for 3D electromagnetic boundary value problems Ozgun, O.; Kuzuoğlu, Mustafa (Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), 2010-04-01) The authors introduce the iterative leap-field domain decomposition method that is tailored to the finite element method, by combining the concept of domain decomposition and the Huygens' Principle. In this method, a large-scale electromagnetic boundary value problem is partitioned into a number of suitably-defined 'small' and manageable subproblems whose solutions are assembled to obtain the global solution. The main idea of the method is the iterative application of the Huygens' Principle to the fields ra...
