Abstract
Forerunners (precursors) in linear, temporally dispersive, bigyrotropi c materials are investigated with time-domain techniques. Bigyrotropic materials are characterized by 12 constitutive parameters (integral k ernels). Specifically, the four susceptibility dyadics are all gyrotro pic with a common gyrotropic axis. Pulse propagation along this axis i s analyzed with dispersive (noncoupling) wave splitting and complex, t ime-dependent field vectors. Two numerical examples illustrating the m ethod are presented.
