3 Steepest-Descent Path Physics Steepest-descent transformation: sinζ y cosζ There are no branch points in the ζ plane (cosζ is analytic). Both sheets of the plane get mapped into a single sheet of the ζ plane. 3

4 Steepest-Descent Path Physics Eamine y to see where the ζ plane is proper and improper: cos( ζ ζ ) [ cosζ coshζ jsinζ sinhζ ] + j y r i r i r i Im sinζ sinhζ y r i Proper : Im < y Improper : Im > y 4

10 SDP Physics (cont.) LWP captured: θ θ > b ζ i SDP The angle θ b represents the boundary for which the leay-wave pole is captured (the leay-wave field eists). ζ rp LWP θ b ζ ζ + jζ p rp ip ζ r θ Note: b > ζ rp 1

12 SDP Physics (cont.) Eamine the eponential term: cos ψ e ( ρ) ( ζ θ) j cos p ( ζ θ) cos ( ζ θ) ζ p rp + j ip ( ) j ( ) cos ζ θ coshζ sin ζ θ sinhζ rp ip rp ip Hence ψ e ( ) sin( rp ) ρ ζ θ sinhζ ip e ( ρ) sinhζip sin( θ ζrp ) since ζ ip < 1

13 SDP Physics (cont.) Radially decaying: ψ e ( ρ) sinhζip sin( θ ζrp ) θ > ζ rp LW eists: θ > θ b y LW decays radially ζ rp Also, recall that θ b > ζ rp θ b LW eists ε r Line source 13

16 ESDP (Etreme SDP) The ESDP is the SDP for θ /. The ESDP is important for evaluating the fields on the interface (which determines the far-field pattern). ζ i ζ θ / ESDP We can show that the ESDP divides the LW region into slow-wave and fast-wave regions. Fast ζ r Slow 16

17 ESDP (cont.) To see this: ( ) cos ζ θ coshζ 1 r sinζ coshζ 1 r i i (SDP) (ESDP) Recall that p sinζ p ( ζ jζ ) sin + rp ip Hence β Re p sinζ rp coshζ ip 17

18 ESDP (cont.) Hence β sinζ coshζ rp ip Fast-wave region: β < 1 sinζ coshζ < 1 rp ip Slow-wave region: β > 1 sinζ coshζ > 1 rp ip Compare with ESDP: sinζ coshζ 1 r i 18

19 ESDP (cont.) The ESDP thus establishes that for fields on the interface, a leay-wave pole is physical (captured) if it is a fast wave. ζ i SWP ESDP θ / LWP captured Fast ζ r Slow LWP not captured 19

20 SDP in Plane We now eamine the shape of the SDP in the plane. sinζ ( ζ jζ ) sin + r i so that sinζ coshζ r r i cosζ sinhζ i r i SDP: cos ζ θ coshζ 1 ( ) r i The above equations allow us to numerically plot the shape of the SDP in the plane.

28 Discussion of Asymptotic Methods We have now seen two ways to asymptotically evaluate the fields on an interface as for a line source on a grounded substrate: 1) Steepest-descent (ζ ) plane There are no branch points in the steepest-descent plane. The function f (ζ ) is analytic at the saddle point ζ θ /, but is zero there. The fields on the interface correspond to a higherorder saddle-point evaluation. ) Wavenumber ( ) plane The SDP becomes an integration along a vertical path that descends from the branch point at. The integrand is not analytic at the endpoint of integration (branch point) since there is a square-root behavior at the branch point. Watson s lemma is used to asymptotically evaluate the integral. 8

30 Interpretation of RW Field y The residual-wave (RW) field is actually a sum of lateral-wave fields. θ c 3

31 Appendi: Proof of Angle Property Proof of angle property: ( ) γ θ tan γ r i tanζ r r i ( ζ ) i The last identity follows from sinζ coshζ r r i cosζ sinhζ i r i r i tanζ r Hence γ ~ ζ r or γ ~ ζr 31

32 Proof (cont.) ζ i On SDP: As ζ ζ i r θ + (the asymptote) u > θ u < u θ SDP SAP u < θ + u > ζ r Hence γ ~ θ + or γ ~ θ + θ 3

33 Proof (cont.) To see which choice is correct: ESDP: θ In the plane, this corresponds to a vertical line for which γ Hence γ θ 33
