Reflection, Transmission, and Scattering of Waves

  • Chapter
Microwave NDT

Part of the book series: Developments in Electromagnetic Theory and Applications ((DETA,volume 10))

Abstract

In this chapter we discuss behavior of waves at dielectric and conductor interfaces as well as scattering from bodies. The problem of conditions at the interfaces between two materials is a fundamental problem in testing. Many of the methods we use later depend on measurement of reflected or transmitted waves from a single interface or from multiple interfaces. To define the reflected fields, we define the reflection and transmission coefficients for a variety of interfaces.
