Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Signal Transfer across a Thin Magneto-Dielectric Sheet

Closed-form time-domain (TD) analytical expressions describing the electromagnetic (EM) signal transfer between two vertical dipoles through a thin, highly contrasting layer with combined magneto-dielectric properties are derived via the Cagniard-DeHoop (CdH) technique with the TD saltus-type conditions. The TD EM-field coupling between the antennas in the absence of the layer is discussed, including its near-field asymptotic solution. It is demonstrated both analytically and numerically that under certain circumstances the combined sheet behaves virtually as a transparent sheet the transition across which inverts the polarity of the received signal.
