Abstract

This paper presents a new methodology for the transient analysis of plane waves obliquely incident on a planar lossy and dispersive layer. The proposed model is based on the Sturm–Liouville problem associated with the propagation equations. Green's function is calculated in a series form and the open‐end impedance matrix is obtained as the sum of infinite rational functions. This form permits an easy identification of poles and residues. Furthermore, the knowledge of poles leads to the development of a model order reduction technique by selecting only the dominant poles of the system. The pole–residue representation is converted into a state‐space model that can be easily interfaced with ordinary differential equation solvers. The numerical results confirm the effectiveness of the proposed modeling technique. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
