Abstract
This work contains an analytical description of Huygens’ principle for an electromagnetic field in a moving isotropic, homogeneous, and linear medium. By starting with Maxwell–Minkowski equations, it is possible to construct a combined field equation in the manner of Bateman and Itoh. The resultant equation is then integrated with the aid of an appropriate dyadic Green’s function which can be found by means of the operational method originally due to Levine and Schwinger.
