Abstract: | The propagation of electromagnetic waves issued by modulated moving sources of the form j( t,x ) = a( t )e - iw0 t (x)\dot]0 ( t )d( x - x0 ( t ) )j\left( {t,x} \right) = a\left( t \right)e^{ - i\omega _0 t} \dot x_0 \left( t \right)\delta \left( {x - x_0 \left( t \right)} \right) is considered, where j(t, x) stands for the current density vector, x = (x

3) ∈ ℝ3 for the space variables, t ∈ ℝ for time, t → x
0(t) ∈ ℝ3 for the vector function defining the motion of the source, ω
0 for the eigenfrequency of the source, a(t) for a narrow-band amplitude, and δ for the standard δ function. Suppose that the media under consideration are dispersive. This means that the electric and magnetic permittivity
ɛ(ω), μ(ω) depends on the frequency ω. We obtain a representation of electromagnetic fields in the form of time-frequency oscillating integrals whose phase contains
a large parameter λ > 0 characterizing the slowness of the change of the amplitude a(t) and the velocity (x)\dot]0 ( t )\dot x_0 \left( t \right) and a large distance between positions of the source and the receiver. Applying the two-dimensional stationary phase method
to the integrals, we obtain explicit formulas for the electromagnetic field and for the Doppler effects. As an application
of our approach, we consider the propagation of electromagnetic waves produced by moving source in a cold nonmagnetized plasma
and the Cherenkov radiation in dispersive media. |
