Discrete Complex Image Method for Green's Functions of General Multilayer Media

Feng Ling, Member, IEEE and Jian-Ming Jin Senior Member, IEEE

Page 400.

Abstract:

The discrete complex image method is extended to efficiently and accurately evaluate the Green's functions of multilayer media for the method of moments analysis. The difficulty associated with the surface-wave extraction for multilayer media is solved by evaluating a contour integral recursively in the complex k-plane. With this scheme, the discrete complex image method works in both the near-and far-field regions for general multilayer media, whether open or shielded and lossy or lossless.
