Classical electromagnetic potential formulations are, with the exceptions of a few special cases of one-dimensional stratification, restricted to use in uniform media. A recently developed potential formulation
that provides a flexible basis for numerical computation of
time-harmonic field problems involving continuously and discretely
inhomogeneous axially symmetric media is the topic of this paper. The
formulation manifests itself in both a differential equation system and,
alternately, a variational criterion. Typical numerical applications include
solutions of scattering by arbitrarily shaped material bodies of
revolution and radiation from inhomogeneously loaded rotationally
symmetric antenna structures. Current numerical investigations by the
authors, using Mei’s unimoment method in conjunction with both
finite-difference and finite-element techniques, have shown the formulation
to be highly feasible for computation of field problems having
dimensions as large as several wavelengths.
