Electromagnetic interactions with an anisotropic slab

An exact theory is developed for fields due to currents in the presence of an anisotropic slab. The anisotropy is of a type expected of a composite reinforced with unidirectional fiber and is described by a diagonal matrix in Maxwell's equations. A Green's matrix is defined with exact and explicitly computed solutions to Maxwell's equations for point currents. The Green's matrix reduces to quadrature the problems, in frequency and time domains, of computing the field produced inside and outside a slab by arbitrary current sources. Steady-state AC current sheets and loops are considered, and numerical results are presented.< >
