Reflection of an obliquely incident impulsive plane electromagnetic wave from lossless, cold, isotropic, and uniaxial plasma half-spaces moving perpendicular to the plane of incidence is considered. The analytical solutions are obtained by inversion of the appropriate Laplace transforms. The analysis shows that in the case of uni-x plasma both the pulse height and loop width of the reflected field decrease with increase in the medium velocity. However, in the case of uni-y plasma (perpendicular polarization) the pulse height decreases and loop width increases with increase in the medium velocity. Also, some more results are presented and discussed in the text.
