SIGNAL DISTORTION IN ANISOTROPIC HOMOGENEOUS IONIZED MEDIA. PART I. LONGITUDINAL MAGNETIC FIELD,

Abstract

This report deals with propagation of electro-magnetic transients in anisotropic, homogeneous ionized media. Due to a longitudinal, external magnetic field in incident signal will be split up into two circularly polarized modes, which propagate independently in the homogeneous medium. By means of the saddle-point method of integration approximate expressions for the transmitted signal in the medium have been obtained. These results have been used to calculate the distorted and time-delayed unit step modulated carrier and the distorted pulse-carrier in the layer in the isotropic as well as the anisotropic case. The split-up into a left-hand polarized and a right-hand polarized pulse is shown in a series of figures. (Author)
