- Abstract
Electromagnetic fields, excited by an electric phased line source in the presence of an infinite dielectric wedge, are determined by application of the Kontorovich–Lebedev transform. The Maxwell's equations together with the conditions of continuity of the tangential field components at the material interfaces are formulated as a vector boundary-value problem. By representing the field components as Kontorovich–Lebedev integrals, the problem is reduced to a system of singular integral equations for the unknown spectral functions. We construct numerical solutions to those equations that permit fields evaluation for values of the wedge refractive index, not necessarily close to unity, and for arbitrary positioned source and observer. Numerical results showing the influence of a wedge presence on the directivity of a phased line source are presented and verified through finite-difference frequency-domain simulations.
