  2. Today’s Outline • Course Overview and Motivations • Maxwell Equations (review from 8.02) • in integral form • in differential form • EM waves in homogenous lossless media • EM Wave Equation • Solution of the EM Wave equation • Uniform Plane Waves (UPW) • Complex Notation (phasors) • Wave polarizations • EM Waves in homogeneous lossy media Today

  3. Maxwell’s Equations in linear isotropic homogeneous lossless media Constitutive Relations Gauss‘s Law Faraday’s Law: 0 Ampere’s Law: 0 Second derivative in space  second derivative in time, therefore solution is any function with identical dependencies on space and time (up to a constant) or

  4. What are Electromagnetic Waves A “wave” is a fixed disturbance propagating through a medium A,B B wave motion 0 z A A,B energy density null 0 z Medium A B A energy B energy String stretch velocity potential kinetic Acoustic pressure velocity potential kinetic Ocean height velocity potential kinetic Electromagnetic E H electric magnetic

  5. Solutions of the Wave Equation Possible solutions are many Try Uniform Plane Wave (UPW), e.g. assume: 1) 0 0 2) 3) E+(t – z/ν) propagation In air/vacuum waves moves at velocity t = t t = 0 z z=vt 0

  6. 0 0 0 0 Sinusoidal Uniform Plane Wave (UPW) in +z direction General solution: Ey(z,t) = E+(t - z/v) [V/m] One special solution: where To find the magnetic field: Faraday’s Law: In air/vacuum Note:

  7. Uniform Plane Wave: EM fields EM Wave in z direction: Wavelength x z y

  8. Complex Notation (Phasors) Complex notation for a single frequency (f = /2) “Phasor”: contains all amplitude, vector, spatial and phase information UPW case Time domain E Example: Phasor E

  9. Uniform Plane Wave (UPW) in Complex Notation x direction of propagation z y wavelength

  10. Uniform Plane Wave (UPW) Linear vs. Circular vs. Elliptical Polarization Linear Polarization Circular Polarization Image source: http://en.wikipedia.org x Linear Polarization z y
