Abstract

The ray-series (RS) method, which is practically more tractable and feasible than the transfer matrix (TM) method for the time-domain analysis, is examined and applied for investigation of temporal reflection and transmission responses of an $N$ -layer structure for a plane wave incidence. These responses are represented by reduced reflection and transmission coefficients associated with unit step functions with different effective time periods and weightings depending on electromagnetic properties of the layers constituting the $N$ -layer structure. Numerical and simulation analyses in line with the residue theorem and Bromwich integral were performed to validate our formalism and practically demonstrate its applicability for temporal analysis.
