Excitation of upper hybrid waves associated with the ionospheric heating experiments is assumed to be essential in explaining some of the features of stimulated electromagnetic emissions (SEE). A direct conversion process is proposed as an excitation mechanism of the upper hybrid waves where the energy of an obliquely propagating electromagnetic pump wave is converted into the electrostatic upp...

The paper deals with the propagation of a finite-amplitude circularly polarized electromagnetic plane wave through a fully ionized hot collisionless plasma, composed of Q ( > 1) types of ions and of electrons, as a strict solution of the non-relativistic self-consistent Vlasov equations within the scope of some given applicability criterions. A constant magnetic field and a constant total plasm...

Abstract. Simulation of electromagnetic wave propagation in metamaterials leads to more complicated time domain Maxwell’s equations than the standard Maxwell’s equations in free space. In this paper, we develop and analyze a non-dissipative discontinuous Galerkin (DG) method for solving the Maxwell’s equations in Drude metamaterials. Previous discontinuous Galerkin methods in the literature for...

Light is an electromagnetic transverse wave, which means that it oscillates in directions perpendicular to its propagation (see Figure 1). Since light is a wave, it is characterized by its wavelength—the distance from peak to peak. Electromagnetic wavelengths cover a very wide range but only a tiny part of this range (about 400 to 700 nanometers) is visible to humans and thus of interest for sh...

With the rapid growth of indoor wireless communication systems, the need to accurately model radio wave propagation inside the building environments has increased. Many site-specific methods have been proposed for modeling indoor radio channels. Among these methods, the ray tracing algorithm and the finite-difference time domain (FDTD) method are the most popular ones. The ray tracing approach ...

We demonstrate that electromagnetic waves propagating in square and hexagonal photonic crystals can have fundamentally different anisotropy properties. The wave frequency and group velocity can be functions of the propagation direction even for vanishingly small wave numbers (near the gamma-point). This anisotropy, present in square but absent in hexagonal lattices, can be so extreme that the g...

Transmission and reflection are two fundamental properties of the electromagnetic wave propagation through obstacles. Full control of both the magnitude and phase of the transmission and reflection independently are important issue for free manipulation of electromagnetic wave propagation. Here we employed the equivalent principle, one fundamental theorem of electromagnetics, to analyze the req...
