Then, one can treat the scattered fields from the surface
of the dielectric substrate as the radiation from the source
of the equivalent magnetic current. The scattered fields
can be expressed by the Green's functions.
Since the structure considered here consists of homo-
geneous layers, the scattered fields are expressed as
hybrid modes. The Green's functions cannot be written in
a closed-form expression but can be expressed as integral
form in the spectral domain. By using an im@tance
approach [SI, the dyadic Green's functions (81, N2,N 3 )
for the source of magnetic currents are given by eqn. 24
