ANALYSIS OF LOSSY INHOMOGENEOUS PLANAR LAYERS USING FINITE DIFFERENCE METHOD

A general method is introduced to frequency domain analysis of lossy Inhomogeneous Planar Layers (IPLs). In this method, the IPLs are subdivided to several thin homogeneous layers, at first. Then the electric and magnetic fields are obtained using second order finite difference method. The accuracy of the method is studied using analysis of some special types of IPLs.
