WAVE PROPAGATION IN A MEDIUM WITH A MOVING SINUSOIDAL DISTURBANCE

Abstract

A recent paper (IRE Trans. on Microwave Theory and Techniques, MTT-8, 18, 1960) derives approximate results, employing only three space harmonics, for the propagation characteristics of an electromagnetic wave traveling in a medium possessing a progressive sinusoidal disturbance. A rigorous result is presented for this same problem, taking into account all of the space harmonics, and a sufficiency condition for the convergence of this solution is discussed. The singular nature of the field is associated with supersonic effects in the medium containing the progressive disturbance. (Author)
