Code 12.1: Smooth Surface Emissivity

Code Name: Emissivity_SmoothSurf.m

Description: Code computes emissivity of a dielectric medium viewed from air (with ε1 = 1) at angle Θ1 (Fig. 6-17).

Input Variables:

  ε = ε' - jε'':    Real part of dielectric constant of emitting medium (unitless)
  Θ1:    Incidence angle in medium 1 (degrees)

Output Products:

  eh(Θ1) and ev(Θ1): Emissivity at Θ1 for v- and h-polarization

Book Reference: Section 6-7.2
