The electromagnetic surface currents induced by a magnetic dipole on infinite perfectly conducting surfaces in the presence of a sea-air interface, as well as in a homogeneous ocean environment, are obtained. The method used is that of images where the approximation of a -1 reflection coefficient at the sea-air interface may be justified and used. Computer programs and results which yield a cle...

P.A. Martin / Wave Motion 51 (2014) 296–307 297 transmission coefficient is calculated exactly, as is the average transmission coefficient. These results do not assume that ε is small (compared to the spacing or wavelength) but they are complicated. We then approximate these results for small kε, and we show that they can be obtained more easily by assuming that kε is small from the outset. Thi...

We present numerical procedures for analyzing the properties of periodic structures and associated couplers based upon time domain simulation. Simple post processing procedures are given for determining Brillouin diagrams and complex field distributions of the traveling wave solutions, and the reflection coefficient of the traveling waves by the input and output. The availability of the reflect...

Acoustic bottom-interacting measurements from the Shallow Water '06 experiment experiment (frequency range 1-20 kHz) are presented. These are co-located with coring and stratigraphic studies showing a thin (approximately 20 cm) higher sound speed layer overlaying a thicker (approximately 20 m) lower sound speed layer ending at a high-impedance reflector (R reflector). Reflections from the R ref...

In this paper, the reflection of ultrasonic guided waves from simple dent in pipes has been investigated using finite element method and the relationship between reflection coefficient of these waves and deformation rate has been determined. Also, the effect of the parameters of wave generation source on the generated wave field has been investigated using normal modes expansion method. At firs...

The NLSE soliton scattering by impurities is considered in the framework of the one-dimensional model. The scattering intensity is characterized by the reflection coefficient. The reflection coefficient of the soliton is calculated in the Born approximation of the perturbation theory for the following cases: (i) and isolated impurity, (ii) two point impurities, and (iii) a regular or random sys...

A time-domain analysis of the autocorrelation method for autoregressive estimation is given. It is shown that a small bias in a reflection coefficient close to one in absolute value is propagated and prohibits an accurate estimation of further reflection coefficients. Tapered data windows largely reduce this effect, but increase the variance of the models.

Symmetry and reciprocity constraints on polarization state of the field diffracted by gratings of quasi-planar particles are considered. It is shown that the optical activity effects observed recently in arrays of quasi-planar plasmonic particles on a dielectric substrate are due to the reflection of the field at the air-dielectric slab interface and are proportional to this reflection coeffici...
