If medium 1 is a loss-free dielectric and medium 2 is a very good
conductor (σ2 >> ωε2), show that θt is complex and tends to zero
regardless of the angle of incidence. Derive the expression for the
propagation factor e  2 ( x sin t  z cos t ) in medium 2 when σ2 >> ωε2. 

Extreme Cases: Full Transmission, Full Reflection
 full transmission occurs when the two media have the same
constitutive parameters (no reflected wave)
1  2 and t   r  i   0, T  1
• there is no reflected wave
• the field in medium 1 is simply the traveling incident wave
• the field in medium 2 is the same traveling wave
Can total transmission happen if the 2 media are different? Explain.
 full reflection occurs when
• medium 2 is a PEC (short circuit)
• medium 2 is a PMC (open circuit)
• total internal reflection at a dielectric interface
• the reflected wave is as strong as the incident one
• there is no field in medium 2
Full Reflection
• full reflection at PEC
the conducting medium “shorts out” medium 1 by forcing a
zero tangential E-field component (voltage between any 2
points on interface is 0); tangential H-field is doubled
Prove that Γ = −1 and T = 0 if σ2 → ∞.
• full reflection at PMC

PMC acts as an open circuit forcing a zero tangential H-field
component and doubling the tangential E-field
Prove that Γ = 1 and T = 2 if µꞌꞌ → ∞.
• total field in medium 1 when Γ = ±1 for normal incidence

Envelopes of Traveling, Standing, and Mixed Waves
the envelope of a standing wave has nulls and maxima spaced at λ/4
[the distance between any two neighboring nulls (or maxima) is λ/2]
the envelope of a traveling wave is a constant line with no minima
and maxima
between the extremes of a traveling and a standing wave lie infinite
combinations of incident and reflected waves – mixed waves
mixed waves can be viewed as a superposition of a traveling wave
and a standing wave where Γ can be any complex number 0 |  | 1

Locations of the Envelope Minima/Maxima
• maxima occur where the standing wave and the traveling wave
interfere constructively
• minima occur where the standing wave and the traveling wave
interfere destructively
• maxima are (1 + |Γ|) times the magnitude of the incident wave

• the SWR gives the ratio of the wave envelope maximum and
minimum (SWR ≥ 1)
• the distance between two neighbouring minima (or maxima) is λ/2
• at a PEC wall (short), the E-field has a null while the H-field has a
maximum, which is double the value of the incident field magnitude
• at a PMC wall (open), the situation is reversed
