Analysis of Plane Wave Propagation in Biaxial Media for Arbitrary Incidence Angles

An analysis to determine the explicit eigenwave solutions for electric and magnetic field components of anisotropic permittivity and permeability biaxial media for any plane wave angle of incidence is introduced. Forward and reverse propagating eigenvalues are identified. Then, the eigenvector is solved to define the electric field polarization before determining the electric and magnetic field eigenwave solutions. Finally, a special case condition is applied where it is shown that the expressions introduced in this work converge to prior known results. The generalized biaxial media eigenwave solutions in this paper can be used to address scattering problems as well as boundary interfaces for material measurement techniques.
