Pulsed Line Source Response of a Thin Sheet With High-Contrast Dielectric and Conductive Properties—A Time-Domain Analysis

A methodology is presented for analytically modeling the reflection and transmission of line-source excited pulsed electromagnetic fields at a thin, planar layer with high-contrast dielectric and conductive properties. Closed-form analytic time-domain expressions are derived for the field components in a 2-D setting via an extension of the Cagniard-DeHoop method. The response to the power exponential source and the power exponential monocycle pulse were studied using the newly proposed method.
