Abstract
The wave equation for the propagation of a TE wave in a plane stratified plasma sheath is solved by the method of series, and an expression for the reflection coefficient is abstracted. In special cases the series may be identified with certain known functions, and simple formulas for the reflectance are obtained. In general, however, the reflection coefficient appears as the ratio of complex infinite series.
