The plane-wave reflection of electromagnetic pulses from homogeneous and inhomogeneous layered media is discussed. Special attention is given to the case of total reflection which is characterized in the frequency domain by phase distortion without amplitude distortion. For this case it is shown that the waveform in the time domain undergoes a rather remarkable change.
