  • Abstract
    An extremely simple difference equation for the solution of transient signal propagation in a cold homogeneous lossy isotropic plasma has been found. This difference equation is derived from an integro-differential equation for the electric field by a finite difference method. The solution is generated in a recursive manner in time.
