One of the most important diagnostic problems multilayer dielectric materials and coatings is the development of methods for quantitative interpretation of the checkout results their electrophysical and geometric parameters. The results of a study of the potential informativeness of the multi-frequency radio wave method of surface electromagnetic waves during reconstruction of the electrophysical and geometric parameters of multilayer dielectric coatings are presented. The simulation model is presented that makes it possible to evaluate of the accuracy of reconstruction of the electrophysical and geometric parameters of multilayer dielectric coatings. The model takes into account the values of the electrophysical and geometric parameters of the coating, the noise level in the measurement data and the measurement bandwidth. The results of simulation and experimental investigations of reconstruction of the structure of relative permittivitties and thicknesses of single-layer and double-layer dielectric coatings with different thicknesses, with different values of the standard deviation (RMS) of the noise level in the measured attenuation coefficients of the surface slow electromagnetic wave are presented. Coatings based on the following materials were investigated: polymethyl methacrylate, F-4D PTFE, RO3010. The accuracy of reconstruction of the electrophysical parameters of the layers decreases with an increase in the number of evaluated parameters and an increase in the noise level. The accuracy of the estimates of the electrophysical parameters of the layers also decreases with a decrease in their relative permittivity and thickness. The results of experimental studies confirm the adequacy of the developed simulation model. The presented model allows for a specific measuring complex that implements the multi-frequency radio wave method of surface electromagnetic waves, to quantify the potential possibilities for the accuracy of reconstruction of the electrophysical and geometric parameters of multilayer dielectric materials and coatings. Experimental investigations and simulation results of a multilayer dielectric coating demonstrated the theoretical capabilities gained relative error permittivity and thickness of the individual layers with relative error not greater than 10 %, with a measurement bandwidth of 1 GHz and RMS of noise level 0,003–0,004.

Using the semiclassical approach for the description of the propagation of the electromagnetic waves in optically active isotropic media we derive a new formula for the circular dichroism parameter. The theory is based on the idea of the time damped electromagnetic wave interacting with the molecules of the sample. In this theory, the Lambert-Beer law need not be taken as an empirical law, however, it follows naturally from the requirement that the electromagnetic wave obeys the Maxwell equations.

The influence of the earth’s magnetic field on the propagation of wireless waves in the ionosphere has stimulated interest in the problem of the propagation of electromagnetic waves through a non-isotropic medium which is stratified in planes. Although the differential equations of such a medium have been elegantly deduced by Hartree,f it appears that no solution of them has yet been published for a medium which is both non-isotropic and non-homogeneous. Thus the work of Gans and Hartree dealt only with a stratified isotropic medium, while in the mathematical theory of crystal-optics the non-isotropic medium is always assumed to be homogeneous. In the same way Appleton’s magneto-ionic theory of propagation in an ionized medium under the influence of a magnetic field is confined to consideration of the “ characteristic ”waves which can be propagated through a homogeneous medium without change of form. In applying to stratified non-isotropic media these investigations concerning homogeneous non-isotropic media difficulty arises from the fact that the polarizations of the characteristic waves in general vary with the constitution of the medium, and it is not at all obvious that there exist waves which are propagated independently through the stratified medium and which are approximately characteristic at each stratum. The existence of such waves has usually been taken for granted, although for the ionosphere doubt has been cast upon this assumption by Appleton and Naismith, who suggest that we might “ expect the components ( i. e ., characteristic waves) to be continually splitting and resplitting”, even if the increase of electron density “ takes place slowly with increase of height”. It is clear that, until the existence of independently propagated approximately characteristic waves has been established, at any rate for a slowly-varying non-isotropic medium, no mathematical justification exists for applying Appleton's magnetoionic theory to the ionosphere. It is with the provision of this justification that we are primarily concerned in the present paper. This problem has been previously considered by Försterling and Lassen,f but we feel that their work does not carry conviction because they did not base their calculations on the differential equations for a non-homo-geneous medium, and were apparently unable to deal with the general case in which the characteristic polarizations vary with the constitution of the medium.
