Abstract

Assuming no interference, recursion relations are derived, tabulated, and plotted, for the case where the number of plates is an integer power of two to form a set of graphs from which the transmission and reflection coefficients of a pile of identical, parallel, lossy plates can be obtained. Approximate closed form expressions, which are valid for any number of plates, are also derived and evaluated, giving an alternate analytical solution to the problem.
