Abstract

In this paper,the propagation model considers the two half-spaces as a homogeneous isotropic medium and one-dimensionally anisotropic medium. From the exact formulas for the transient field with delta-function excitation,it is obtained readily the exact formulas for the transient field excited by a horizontal electric dipole with Gaussian excitation when both the dipole point and field point are located on the boundary between a homogeneous isotropic medium and one-dimensionally anisotropic medium. It is seen that the final exact formulas can be expressed in terms of several fundamental functions and finite integrals,which are evaluated easily.
