Reflection of electromagnetic waves from inhomogeneous media
Abstract
A method for an approximate analytical calculation of the reflection factor of electromagnetic waves from layers with a variable refractive index of an arbitrary form is proposed. The formulas agree well with the known results of a calculation of the reflection factor for a wide classs of dependences of the refractive indices. It is possible to use the formulas during calculation of the reflection of obliquely incident waves. The methods described can be used to calculate conversion of waves in homogeneous transient media.
