ABSTRACT

In this chapter the general theory described in Chapter 2 is applied to the several planar boundaries. The specific case of a dielectric layer on a conductor is considered first. These results are then extended to the case of a treated boundary, the corrugated conductor. Finally a more complex coating, a chiral layer on a conductor, is considered, demonstrating the applicability of the spectral domain approach to the determination of HOIBC for complex coatings. In each case the accuracy of the approximate boundary conditions as a function of the parameters of the coating or surface treatment is discussed.
