•A changing magnetic field produces an electric field, and a

changing electric field produces a magnetic field.

•Accelerating charges produce electromagnetic waves.

•The existence of EM waves, predicted by Maxwell’s equations, was

first investigated by Heinrich Hertz (sometimes called Hertzian

waves).

In general, waves are means of transporting energy or

information.

Typical examples of EM waves include radio waves, TV signals,

radar,…2

Electromagnetic wave propagation

Longitudinal Waves: Vibration is parallel to the direction of propagation. Sound and pressure waves are longitudinal.

Transverse Waves: the motion of the matter particles is perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave itself.

• A material medium is necessary for the transmission for mechanical waves. Mechanical waves cannot travel through vacuum.

• Disturbance is transmitted from one layer to the next through the medium.

• Electromagnetic waves travel through empty space!!

• All electromagnetic waves travels at c = 3108 m/s in vacuum (speed of light).

• Electric field, magnetic field, and direction of travel are mutually perpendicular. 5

The wave has the following characteristics:

It varies with both time and space.

It is time harmonic.

The amplitude of the wave is A.

The phase of the wave (in radians) is the term (ωt-βz), depends

on time t and space variable z.

ω is the angular frequency in (radians/second).

β is the phase constant, or wave number in (radians per meter).

Consider a fixed point P on

the wave.

Sketch E=A sin(ωt-βz) at

times t=0, T/4, and T/2.

It is evident that as the wave

advances with time, point P

moves along +z direction.

So, the wave E=A sin(ωt-βz) is

travelling with a velocity u in

the +z direction.

11

Point P is a point of constant phase, therefore

Notes:

A sin(ωt - βz) is wave propagating in +z direction (forward travelling,

or positive-going wave)

A sin(ωt + βz) is wave propagating in -z direction (backward travelling,

or negative going wave)

• α is attenuation constant (Np/m): defines the rate of decay of the

wave in the medium. measured in Nepers per meter (Np/m).

• β is phase constant (rad/m) : is a measure of the phase shift per

unit length in radians per meter. (also called wave number)

• α=0 for lossless medium (σ=0)

• An attenuation of 1 neper indicates a reduction of

e-1 of the original value.

tanѲ is used to determine how lossy the medium is:

Good (lossless or perfect) dielectric if tanѲ is vary small (σ<<ωε)

Good conductor if tanѲ is very large (σ>>ωε)

• Behaviour of a medium depends not only on parameters σ, ε, and µ,

but also on the frequency. A medium regarded as a good conductor

at low frequencies may be a good dielectric at high frequencies.

Both E and H fields (or EM waves) are everywhere normal to the

direction of wave propagation, ak.

They form an EM wave and have no electric or magnetic field

components along the direction of propagation. Such a wave is

called a transverse electromagnetic (TEM) wave.

A combination of E and H is called a uniform plane wave

because E (or H) has the same magnitude throughout any

transverse plane, defined by z=constant.

Uniform plane waves serve as approximations to practical waves

such as those from a radio antenna a distance sufficiently far from

radiating sources.

Plane Waves in Good Conductors

A perfect or good conductor is one in which σ>>ωε

0 0, = , = r

Therefore, as the wave travels in a conducting medium, itamplitude is attenuated by a factor e-αz.The distance δ, through which the wave amplitude decreases to afactor e-1 (about 37% of the original value) is called skin depth orpenetration depth of the medium.

The skin depth decreases with increasing frequency. Thus, E and H can

hardly propagate through good conductors.

The fields and currents are confined to a very

thin layer (the skin) of the conductor surface.

For a wire of radius a, it is a good

approximation at high frequencies to assume

that all of the current flows in the circular ring of

thickness δ. (as shown)

d << a

Skin effect : is the tendency for high-frequency currents to flow

on the surface of a conductor.

* The effective conductor cross section decreases and the

conductor resistance increases.

It is used to advantage in many applications:

Since the skin depth in silver is very small, silver plating is often

used to reduce the material cost of waveguide components. (e.g

silver-plating on brass).

Hollow conductors are used instead of solid conductors in

outdoor television antennas, and thus saving weight and cost.
