• For a straight conductor the magnetic field is
given by Ampere’s law
• At large distances or high frequencies H(t,d)
H lags I(t,d=0) due to propagation time
I – Transmission of field is not instantaneous
– Actually H(t,d) is due to I(t-d/c,d=0)
• Modulation of I(t) produces a dH/dt term
• dH/dt produces E
• dE/dt term produces H
• etc.
• How do the mixed-up E and H fields spread
out from a modulated current ?
– eg current loop, antenna etc
http://www.cee.hw.ac.uk/~arharve 3
A moving point charge:
• A static charge produces radial
field lines
• Constant velocity, acceleration and
finite propagation speed distorts
the field line
• Propagation of kinks in E field
lines which produces kinks of
2
E t and  2E t
• Changes in E couple into H & v.v
– Fields due to E t are short range

– Fields due to  E t propagate

Summary of wave equations in free space cont.

• Maxwells equations lead to the three-dimensional wave equation to


describe the propagation of E and H fields
• Plane sinusoidal waves are a solution to the 3D wave equation
• Wave equations are linear

– All temporal field variations can be decomposed into Fourier components


• wave equation describes the propagation of an arbitrary disturbance

– All waves can be written as a superposition of plane waves (again by Fourier


analysis)
• wave equation describes the propagation of arbitrary wave fronts in free space.

Summary of the generation of
travelling waves
• We see that travelling waves are set up when  2E t 2  0
– accelerating charges
– but there is also a field due to Coulomb’s law:
q
E
4 o r 2

– For a spherical travelling wave, the power carried by the travelling


wave obeys an inverse square law (conservation of energy)
• P a E2 a 1/r2
– to be discussed later in the course
• Ea1/r
– Coulomb field decays more rapidly than travelling field
– At large distances the field due to the travelling wave is much
larger than the ‘near-field’

2.8 Uniform plane waves - transverse relation of E and H
• Consider a uniform plane wave, propagating in the z
direction. E is independent of x and y
E E
0 0
x y
In a source free region, .D= =0 (Gauss’ law) :
E x E y E z
.E    0
x y z
E is independent of x and y, so
E x E y E z
 0, 0  0  Ez  0 ( E z  constis not a wave)
x y z
• So for a plane wave, E has no component in the direction of
propagation. Similarly for H.
• Plane waves have only transverse E and H components.
http://www.cee.hw.ac.uk/~arharve 16
Orthogonal relationship between E and H:
• For a plane z-directed wave there are no variations along x and y:

• Spatial rate of change of H is proportionate to the temporal rate of change
of the orthogonal component of E & v.v. at the same point in space

• Consider a linearly polarised wave that has a transverse
component in (say) the y direction only:

components of E and H along the x,y,z directions
– Ex, Ey, Ez and Hx, Hy, Hz

• Normally the cardinal axes are Earth-referenced
– Refer to horizontally or vertically polarised
– The field oscillates in one plane only and is referred to as linear polarisation

http://www.cee.hw.ac.uk/~arharve 41
Why are boundary conditions important ?
• When a free-space electromagnetic wave is incident
upon a medium secondary waves are
– transmitted wave
– reflected wave
• The transmitted wave is due to the E and H fields at
the boundary as seen from the incident side
• The reflected wave is due to the E and H fields at the
boundary as seen from the transmitted side
• To calculate the transmitted and reflected fields we
need to know the fields at the boundary
– These are determined by the boundary conditions

http://www.cee.hw.ac.uk/~arharve 42
Boundary Conditions cont.
1,1,s1

2,2,s2

• At a boundary between two media, r,rs are different on either


side.
• An abrupt change in these values changes the characteristic
impedance experienced by propagating waves
• Discontinuities results in partial reflection and transmission of
EM waves
• The characteristics of the reflected and transmitted waves can be
determined from a solution of Maxwells equations along the
boundary

• Except for a perfect conductor, the
tangential component of H is continuous at a

– H1t,= H2t
• The normal component of D is continuous at
the surface of a discontinuity if there is no

charge density D is discontinuous by an
amount equal to the surface charge density. D2n, B2n 2,2,s2

As dz  0, edge  0 hence
Dn1  Dn2   s The change in the normal component of D at a

Proof of boundary conditions - Dn cont.
Dn1  Dn2   s
• For an insulator with no static electric charge s=0
Dn1  Dn 2

• For a conductor all charge flows to the surface and for an


infinite, plane surface is uniformly distributed with area

In a good conductor, s is large, D=E0 hence if
medium 2 is a good conductor

Dn1   s

2.6 Conditions at a perfect conductor
• In a perfect conductor s is infinite
• Practical conductors (copper, aluminium silver) have
very large s and field solutions assuming infinite s can
be accurate enough for many applications
– Finite values of conductivity are important in calculating
Ohmic loss
• For a conducting medium
– J=sE
• infinite s infinite J
• More practically, s is very large, E is very small (0) and J is finite

Reflection and refraction of plane waves
• At a discontinuity the change in ,  and s results
in partial reflection and transmission of a wave
• For example, consider normal incidence:
Incidentwave  Ei e j t  z 
Reflectedwave  Er e j t  z 

• Where Er is a complex number determined by the


boundary conditions

http://www.cee.hw.ac.uk/~arharve 57
Reflection at a perfect conductor
• Tangential E is continuous across the
boundary
– see page 45
• For a perfect conductor E just inside the
surface is zero
– E just outside the conductor must be zero
Ei  E r  0
 Ei   E r
• Amplitude of reflected wave is equal to
amplitude of incident wave, but reversed in
phase
http://www.cee.hw.ac.uk/~arharve 58
Standing waves
• Resultant wave at a distance -z from the
interface is the sum of the incident and
reflected waves
ET z , t   incident wave  reflected wave
 Ei e j t  z   E r e j t  z 

 Ei e  jz  e jz e jt sin  
e j  e j
 2 jE i sin z e jt
2j

and if Ei is chosen to be real


ET z , t   Re  2 jE i sin z cost  j sin t 
 2 Ei sin z sin t

http://www.cee.hw.ac.uk/~arharve 59
Standing waves cont...
ET z, t   2Ei sin z sin t

• Incident and reflected wave combine to produce


a standing wave whose amplitude varies as a
function (sin z) of displacement from the
interface
• Maximum amplitude is twice that of incident
fields

Reflection from a perfect conductor
• Direction of propagation is given by EH
If the incident wave is polarised along the y axis:
Ei  a y E yi
 H i  a x H xi From page 18
then  
E  H   a y  a x E yi H xi
 a z E yi H xi
That is, a z-directed wave.
For the reflected wave Ε  H  a z E yi H xi and Er  a y E yi
So H r  a x H xi  H i and the magnetic field is
reflected without change in phase

derive (using a similar method that used
for ET(z,t) on p59) the form for HT(z,t)
H T z, t   H i e j t  z   H r e j t  z 

 H i e jz  e  jz e jt 
 2 H i cos z e jt
As for Ei, Hi is real (they are in phase), therefore
H T z, t   Re2H i cos z cost  j sin t   2H i cos z cost

Reflection from a perfect conductor
HT z, t   2H i cos z cost
• Resultant magnetic field strength also has a
standing-wave distribution
• In contrast to E, H has a maximum at the surface
and zeros at (2n+1)/4 from the surface:

Reflection from a perfect conductor
ET z, t   2Ei sin z sin t
HT z, t   2H i cos z cost

• ET and HT are /2 out of phase( sin t  cost   / 2)


• No net power flow as expected
– power flow in +z direction is equal to power flow in - z direction

Reflection by a perfect dielectric
• Reflection by a perfect dielectric (J=sE=0)
– no loss
• Wave is incident normally
– E and H parallel to surface
• There are incident, reflected (in medium 1)and
transmitted waves (in medium 2):
