   This paper solved the problem of the scattering of radiation from a material half-space by the transient spectral domain method. The transient spectral domain method is a general theoretical approach for the exact solution to the time-dependent source radiation in the presence of media. It is located in the air region in the vicinity of lossy half-space. The apply of the integral transform to the wave equation in the horizontal coordinates in space by a two-dimensional Fourier transform is theoretical formulation of the problem. A source used is an electrically short vertical magnetic dipole with Impulse current distribution in the domain. Leads, under consideration of initial boundary and transition condition, the form expressions is achieved in terms of spectral domain variable and time. The integral representation determines the electromagnetic field anywhere the closed-form expressions is an achieved in terms of spectral domain variable and time.

Introduction</title><p>Historically, time domain solution of Sommerfeld problem can be used in different areas of electromagnetics, such as evaluation of remoto-sensing systems for detection of shallow buried objects (Wait [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.29216-ref1">1</xref>]). In this paper the classical time domain problem formed by vertically oriented magnetic dipole with impulsive current density distribution in front of lossy half-space is studied theoretically. The exact solution of such problem was obtained by Sommerfeld [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.29216-ref2">2</xref>] for vertical dipole source radiation have two dielectric half space. Weyl [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.29216-ref3">3</xref>] and Banons [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.29216-ref4">4</xref>] studied from a vertical electric dipole situated at a certain height h above a plane earth all field quantities are usually assumed to vary harmonically in time the classical time domain problem formed by vertically oriented magnetic dipole with impulsive current density distribution in forint of lossy half space is studied theoretically (Sommerfeld half space problem).</p><p>One of the two well-known methods for solving this steady-state problem is due is Sommerfeld [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.29216-ref2">2</xref>], the other to Weyl [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.29216-ref3">3</xref>].</p><p>Today, interest is mainly concerned with the effect of the atmosphere on target identification and imaging. An accurate and efficient method for computing Sommerfeld integrals is crucial in the analysis of electromagnetic field due to radiators and scatters embedded in layered media.</p><p>In several recent publications, however, the case is considered where the time dependence of the current in the dipole is impulsive rather than harmonic e.g. the studies by Banos [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.29216-ref4">4</xref>]; Lindell and Alanen [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.29216-ref5">5</xref>] and Dvorak and Mechaik [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.29216-ref6">6</xref>], these techniques can be grouped in the following categories; quasi-analytical solutions which include asymptotic approximations series expansions and image representations, direct numerical integration, and methods which use numerical techniques.</p><p>In the present paper it is shown that Cagniard’s method can be simplified considerably if the corresponding modification for two-dimensional problems as developed by the present author. Cagniard’s [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.29216-ref7">7</xref>] the modified Cagniard mothed is used to derive closed form expressions for the Hertizen vector anywhere above the duct and Cagniard idea is applica ble as it is based on source. It is closed related to a similar method developed by Caginard, who, too, was concerned with the generation of seismic wave by impulse source and their technique originating from an impulsive wave propagation is electric media is taken a guidance the theoretical study for computing the magnetic field from a Fizragld vector in the ionosphere is presented Abo-seliem [8,9]. Two integral transforms are applied to analyze a Laplace transform in time and twodimensional Fourier transforms in the horizontal coordinate in the space is applied for the Hertizan vector in the wave equation. This leads to an integral representation of the wave equation in the free space.</p></sec><sec id="s2"><title>2.
