geoana.em.tdem.TransientPlaneWave

class geoana.em.tdem.TransientPlaneWave(amplitude=1.0, orientation='X', **kwargs)

Class for simulating the fields for a transient planewave in a wholespace. The wave is assumed to be propogating vertically downward, starting at time=0 and z = 0

Parameters:

amplitudefloat

amplitude of primary electric field. Default is 1

orientation(3,) array_like or {‘X’,’Y’}

Orientation of the planewave. Can be defined using as an array_like of length 3, or by using one of {‘X’,’Y’} to define a planewave along the x or y direction. Default is ‘X’.

Attributes
