Abstract :
This paper presents an electromagnetic model based on multi-layer media. This model includes multiple reflections within each layer, and it has the flexibility to include more complicated structures. Simulations of frequency response and pulse wave through this multi-layer structure are presented. This model provides a tool to estimate the responses at different frequencies and configurations which is instrumental to imaging and detection of objects
