Abstract :
In recent papers the surface impedance condition is proposed to incorporate the effect of high conductivity of a material. This condition only takes the reflection at materials into account; the transmission through very thin layers is not considered. In this work, we introduce a similar approach to model both reflection and transmission when confronted with a thin layer of good, but not perfectly, conducting material
