Abstract

Consider a time-harmonic electromagnetic plane wave incident on a cavity in a ground plane. Inside the cavity, the medium may beinhomogeneous. In this paper, variational formulations in TE and TM polarizations are studied. Existence and uniqueness of the solutions for the model problems are established. The variational approach also forms a basis for numerical solution of the model problems.
