On the radiation field from an electric dipole in an anisotropic and compressible plasma medium

The radiation fields from an electric dipole in a homogeneous, anisotropic, and compressible plasma are considered. Using the Fourier transform method, the problem is formulated in terms of three scalar functions, each of which satisfies the two-dimensional inhomogeneous wave equation. Asymptotic expressions of the radiation fields are obtained for the integrals by the saddle point method of integration.
