A newly developed formulation suitable for matrix manipulation of layered medium green's functions

Based on a recently developed formulation of the dyadic Green's function for layered media (DGLM), this work gives the matrix element representation of the DGLM for general RWG basis functions, including basis functions straddling across different layers and half-RWG basis function attached to an infinite ground plane. It has been rigorously proved that this representation is absent of any undesired line integrals, the same as the popular Michalski-Zheng's formulation of type C. This work also gives the analytical solution for some typical cylindrically symmetric problems, which can be used to validate any formulation for layered medium problems. © 2010 IEEE.link_to_subscribed_fulltex
