Description

This paper presents a mathematical-software functional package that is capable of performing symbolic derivation and numeric computation of dyadic Green's functions for certain multilayered structures: a planar stratified multilayered medium, a spherical multilayered medium, a cylindrical multilayered medium, and a conducting rectangular waveguide with a multilayered dielectric load. The algorithms of this software package are based on the eigenfunction-expansion method. Using Mathematica, two packages were written to fulfill the aforementioned objectives. Upon completion of the software development, dyadic Green's functions for three-layered media were generated. A comparison of these outputs with published results showed good agreement. This demonstrated the applicability of the symbolic package. For the numeric package, the Green's dyadics for a particular three-layered spherical isotropic multilayered medium were generated as an illustration. These packages have been successfully implemented, and future derivation of dyadic Green's functions for these media may be performed.
