Description:
The second order partial differential equations for both the TM mode and TE mode are derived from the Maxwell equations for a diagonal anisotropic model. And then the equations related to the TM mode are solved via the Fourier transform to obtain the quasi-analytical solutions of the 2-D magnetotelluric (MT) fields on an axially anisotropic infinite fault. Furthermore, the quasi-analytical solutions are tested by the isotropic model corresponding to the anisotropic one. Finally, the MT response functions on the fault models with different anisotropic conductivity structures are calculated, and the relationship between the MT response functions and the variety of the model conductivities is analysed, at the same time some applications of the analytic solutions to the MT fields in some special anisotropic media are discussed.
