Abstract

A wide-ranging investigation is rendered possible by a judicious combination of products of electric field components and electric polarization components for two distinct modes of propagation of electromagnetic waves in an anisotropic, ionized, stratified medium. The differential equations, governing oblique propagation in these two distinct modes in such a medium, are combined to yield various integral identities when integrated throughout the medium. These lead to a large number of relations between the reflexion and transmission coefficients (for incidence from below and from above) and the fields throughout the medium, each containing as a factor just one of the components of the external magnetic field pervading the medium.
