Abstract

For pt.I see ibid., vol.38, no.10, p.1607-17 (1990). The theory developed in pt.I of this paper for transmission of fields from an extended planar aperture through a plane dielectric layer is applied to transmission from such an aperture through an arbitrarily located cylindrical dielectric layer. By the self-consistency considerations enunciated previously, it is argued that the narrow-beam algorithm for near and far zone fields is truly predictive, although no other reference solution is now available for an independent check. As in pt.I, the aperture distributions are smoothly tapered or abruptly truncated, and they may generate beam tilts and focusing in the layer or its vicinity
