Introduction One of the most important consequences of Mawell s equations is the eistence of electric and magnetic field perturbations that travels with a finite velocit (in a material or even in free space). A particular simple solution of Mawell s equations is the plane wave solution; it allows introducing the fundamental parameters of electromagnetic wave propagation: a. propagation constant, phase and attenuation constants b. wavelength c. phase velocit d. medium characteristic impedance e. polariation Plane waves are particularl important in applications where the electromagnetic field distribution, sufficientl far awa from the source, can be effectivel approimated b a local plane wave. 7/1/11 3
Plane Waves (time domain) Assumptions: free space medium (linear, isotropic, homogeneous and non dispersive) with no charges (ρ=) and no currents (j=). A non vanishing solution can be obtained due to the presence of sources located outside the volume where Mawell s equations are going to be solved. 9 = 1/ 36π 1 F / m = 1 8854 8.854 1 F / m µ π 7 = 4 1 H / m drt (,) = ert (,) & brt (,) = µ hrt (,) ert (, ) = µ hrt (, ) hrt (,) = ert (,) [ ert (, )] = [ µ hrt (, )] = A further assumption: electric and magnetic fields are independent of and coordinates (looking for a solution onl dependent on : PLANE WAVE SOLUTION) i i i et (,)& ht (,) e e e= = i + i e e e A A A A A A A = i + i + i 7/1/11 4
