Introduction
In a source-free non-conducting simple medium,Maxwells equations are combined to give the
source-free wave equation
The solutions of wave equations represent waves.
Main concern of this chapter is the behavior of
waves that have a 1-D spatial dependence, i.e.,plane waves.

Uniform Plane Waves
wavefront : virtual surface in space where thefields have the same phase everywhere on this
surfacealso called equiphase surface
plane wave : a special solution of wave equation
(Maxwells equations) with E assuming the samedirection and phase on infinite planesperpendicularto the propagation direction
in other words, on an infinite plane wavefront, E alsohas the same direction
uniform plane wave : E also has the same
magnitude on the infinite plane wavefront

Approximation of Plane Waves
Strictly speaking, uniform plane waves do notexist in practice because a source ofinfinite
extent would be required to create them.However in real life situations, if we are far away
enough from any source, the wavefront becomes
almost spherical, and a very small portion of thesurface of a huge sphere is very close to a plane.
e. g., the ground of the earth
The characteristics of uniform plane waves areparticularly simple, the study of them is offundamental and practical importance.

Transverse Electromagnetic Waves
A uniform plane wave with the E and H vectorstransverse (perpendicular) to the propagation
direction is called a transverse electromagnetic(TEM) wave.
For a UPW propagating in the z-direction, the phasorfield quantities are functions of only the distance z
along a single coordinate axis.
A UPW does not always propagate along acoordinate axis. It is necessary to consider a
more general case where a UPW propagatesalong an arbitrary direction.

Polarization of Plane Waves
polarization : time-varying behaviorof the E fieldvector at a given point in space looking along thepropagation direction
time-varying behavior means the possible changing ofthe direction ofE, or the magnitude ofE, orboth
separate description of the H field vector is not
necessary since it is definitely related to that ofE

Conditions for Elliptical Polarization
If the E field vector has
two spatially orthogonal components (e. g., Ex and Ey)with unequal amplitudes E10 E20,
the phase difference between the two components isnot zero or an integral multiple of/2,
then E is elliptically polarized with the principalaxes not coincide with the coordinate axes.

Fields in Lossy Dielectrics (1)
When an external time-varying E field is appliedto materials, small displacements of boundcharges result, giving rise to a volume density ofpolarization P.
This polarization vector will vary with the samefrequency as the applied field.
As the frequency increases, the inertia of thecharged particles tends to prevent the particledisplacements from keeping in phase with the
field changes, leading to a frictional dampingmechanism that causes power losses.

The phenomenon ofout-of-phase polarizationcan be characterized by a complex electricsusceptibility and hence a complex permittivity.
If in addition, the material has an appreciableamount of free charge carriers such as theelectrons in a conductor, where will also beohmic losses.
Forlow-loss media, damping losses are very smalland the real part ofc is usually written as .

Skin effect : A high-frequency EM wave isattenuated very rapidly as it propagates in a goodconductor. The fields exist only in a very thinlayer (skin) close to the conductor surface.
The distance through which the amplitude of atraveling plane wave decreases by a factor ofe-1

Ionized Gases
In the earths upper atmosphere, roughly from 50~ 500 km, there exist layers of ionized gasescalled the ionosphere.
consists offree electrons and positive ions that areproduced when the ultraviolet radiation from the sun isabsorbed by the atoms and molecules in the upper
atmosphere the charged particles tend to be trapped by the earths
magnetic field
The altitude and character of the ionized layersdepend both on the nature of the solar radiationand on the composition of the atmosphere.

Review of Phase Velocity
Phase velocity is the velocity of propagation of anequiphase wavefront.
For plane waves in a lossless medium,
is a constant independent of frequency.
In some cases, is not a linear function ofand
waves of different frequencies will propagate withdifferent phase velocities.

waveguide

p
All information-bearing signals consist of a bandof frequencies, normally centered around a highcarrierfrequency. Different component
frequencies travel with different phase velocitieswill cause a distortion in the signal wave shape.
The phenomenon of signal distortion caused by adependence of the phase velocity on frequencyis called dispersion.
a lossy dielectric medium is a dispersive medium
The various frequency components form a wavepacket. Group velocity is the velocity ofpropagation of the wave-packet envelop.

The power relations in Poyntings theorempertain to the total power flow across a closedsurface obtained by the surface integral ofEH.
The definition of the Poynting vector as thepower density vector at every point on thesurface is an arbitrary concept, although useful.
The Poynting vectorP is in a direction normal to
both E and H.

EM waves propagate in an environment full ofdifferent media in real situations.
An EM wave traveling in one medium impingeson another medium with a different intrinsicimpedance will undergo a reflection.
unless the second medium is a PEC, a part of the
incident power is transmitted into the second medium
Both medium 1 and 2 are assumed to be lossless.

E1 vanishes on the conducting boundary(Er0 = Ei0) as well as at points that are multiplesof/2 from the boundary.
H1 is a maximum on the conducting boundary(Hr0 = Hi0 = Ei0 /1).
The standing waves ofE1 and H1 are in timequadrature (90phase difference) and are shiftedin space by a quarter wavelength.

When the wave in medium 1 is incident on a lessdense medium 2, i.e., 1 > 2,
Since t increases with i, an interesting situationarises when
t= /2, at which angle the refracted
wave will glaze along the interface.
Furtherincrease in i would result in no refracted
wave and this is the total reflection (t = /2)The incident angle for which total reflection
occurs is called the critical angle.

Fori > c, an evanescent wave exists along theinterface (in the x-direction), which is attenuatedexponentially in medium 2 in the normal direction
(z-direction).This wave is tightly bound to the interface and is
called a surface wave. This is a non-uniform
plane wave.No power is transmitted into medium 2 under
total reflection situation.

the charged particles tend to be trapped by the earthsmagnetic field
The altitude and character of the ionized layersdepend both on the nature of the solar radiationand on the composition of the atmosphere.

Ionized gas with equal electron and ion densitiesare called plasma.
The ionosphere plays an important role in the
propagation of EM waves and affectstelecommunication.
Because the electrons are much lighterthan the
positive ions, they are accelerated more by the Efield of EM wave passing through the ionosphere.

wave penetration through the layer with thelargest N at any angle of incidence.
Signals with frequencies lower than 0.9 MHz can
not penetrate into even the lowest layer.Signals with frequencies between 0.9 ~ 9 MHz

Application of Brewster Angle
Because B and B|| are different, it is possible toseparate these two types of polarization in an
8-10.3
7/27/2019 07 Plane Electromagnetic Waves
118/120
2006/10/17 118
separate these two types of polarization in anunpolarized wave.
When an unpolarized wave such as random lightis incident upon a boundary at the Brewsterangle B||, only the component with perpendicular
polarization will be reflected.Brewster angle is therefore also called polarizing angle
Based on this principle, quartz windows set at the
Brewster angle at the ends of a laser tube areused to control the polarization of an emitted lightbeam.
Example 7-13 (1)
The dielectric constant of pure water is 80.
a) Determine the Brewster angle for parallel polarization B|| and thecorresponding angle of transmission.
