Chapter1 Maxwell's Equations 1.1 Exercise Prove the vector algebra identities: a) A × ( B × C ) = B ( A ⋅ C ) - C ( A ⋅ B ) It is possible to write the vectors in the form: ⎧ A = A x xˆ + A y yˆ + A z zˆ ⎪⎪ ⎨B = B x xˆ + B y yˆ + Bz zˆ ⎪ ⎪⎩C = C x xˆ + C y yˆ + C z zˆ

and to use the follow relationship:

Now we can prove the algebra identities with simply mathematical substitutions:

)) = (1.1.3)

Expanding the terms in (1.1.3), we have: A × ( B ×C ) =

( ) + yˆ ( A x By Cx − A x Bx C y + A z By Cz − A z Bz C y ) + zˆ ( A x Bz Cx − A x Bx Cz − A y By Cz + A y Bz C y ) + xˆ A y Bx C y − A y ByCx + A z Bx Cz − A z Bz C x

Let us write eq. (1.1.4) in matrix form, separating the terms with the minus sign and the terms with the plus sign:

And now consider the second case:

nˆ × ( A × nˆ ) = nˆ × ⎡ xˆ A y n z − A z n y − yˆ ( A x n z − A z n x ) + zˆ A x n y − A y n x ⎤ = ⎣ ⎦

whereas the first term will be non–zero and may be set equal to the surface current density, that is, J sx ≡ lim Δ z → 0 ( J x Δ z ) . Show that this leads to the boundary condition H 1y − H 2 y = − J sx . Similarly, shows that H 1x − H 2 x = J sy , and that these two boundary

is the infinitesimal vector, tangent to the curved line c that bounds the surface S.

Now we can consider the infinitesimal face abcd, that has area S = ΔzΔy and perimeter

p = 2Δz + 2Δy . The left–hand side of (1.3.4) can be decomposed into a sum of four integral expression, one for each infinitesimal side of the rectangular abcd, and we have to define the sense of integration. Choose an counterclockwise path so that, using the right–hand rule, the normal is xˆ . Note that the z–parallel sides have the first half in the medium 1 and the second in medium 2. So the integral on that part of the path needs to be decomposed into two integral with different arguments. For simplicity, denote the points of contact between mediums along the segments ab and cd with O1 and O 2 , respectively. On the contrary, to solve the right–side of (1.3.4) we have to identify the correct component of J and D that flows through the face abcd, i.e. the component Jx and D x . So we obtain: O1

where nˆ = zˆ . • Question n° 3 Gauss's law relates the electric field to its electric charge sources. Like Ampère's circuital law, it can be written in two forms, the integral form and the differential form. The forms are equivalent, and related by the divergence theorem:

where nˆ is the outgoing unit vector normal to the closed surface S that bounds the volume V. Now consider the volume V = ΔxΔyΔz . The left–hand side of (1.3.6) can be decomposed into two integrals with arguments D1 and D2 , respectively in the medium 1 and medium 2. The right–hand side of (1.3.6) is a simple volume integral. So we have:

The minus sign is been associated with the left–hand side because it identifies the quantity of energy that goes in the volume V –while the Poynting's vector is defined outgoing from V– and the right–hand side represents the energy dissipated as heat. • Question n° 3 Inside a lossless dielectric, the current density J is zero while the displacement current D is simply equal to ε E .

Solution • Question n° 1 Let us begin with eq. (1.6.2) because it is easy to note from the left–hand side that it is the cross product of the second Maxwell's equation (i.e. ∇× H = J +

∂D ) with the vector ∂t

B

and then we

extract the x–component. So we have to demonstrate the right–hand side of eq. (1.6.2). We can write: ⎡ ⎛ ∂H z ∂H y ⎞ ⎛ ∂H z ∂H x − − ⎟ − yˆ ⎜ ∂z ⎠ ∂z ⎝ ∂x ⎣⎢ ⎝ ∂y

(1.6.5)

From the forth Maxwell's equation (i.e. ∇ ⋅ B = 0 ) and the constitutive relation B = μH , we can add to eq. (1.6.5) the term H x ( ∇ ⋅ H ) and the couple of terms ± H x ∂ H x , because they're both zero: ∂x

So we have that eq. (1.6.6) can be written as:

Fig. 1.10.1: Conductor with finite extent in y–direction. where b = ωB γ . If the conductor has finite extent in the y–direction, as show in Fig. 1.10.1, then no steady current can flow in this direction, J y = 0 . This implies that if an electric field is applied in the x–direction, an electric field will develop across the y–ends of the conductor, E y = bE x . The conduction charges will tend to accumulate either on the right or the left side of the conductor, depending on the sign of b, which depends on the sign of the electric charge e. This is the Hall effect and is used to determinate the sign of the conduction charges in semiconductors, e.g. positive holes for p–type, or negative electrons for n–type. What is the numerical value of b for electrons in copper if B is 1 gauss? 7. For a collisionless plasma ( γ = 0 ), show that its dielectric behavior is determined from

Solution • Question n°1 First of all, divide eq. (1.10.1) by m:

and expand the terms

I1 and I2 can be solved separately. Let's start with I1 substituting E x (t) = E x u(t) and the definition of σ xx (t) . So we obtain: t

⎛ σ (t − t ') + σ − (t − t ') ⎞ I1 = ∫ ⎜ + ⎟ E x u(t ')dt ' = 2 ⎝ ⎠ 0 t t ⎤ 1 1⎡ = ⎢ ∫ σ + (t − t ')E x u(t ')dt ' + ∫ σ − (t − t ')E x (t ')dt '⎥ = ( I11 + I12 ) 2⎢ ⎥⎦ 2 0 ⎣0

Now we solve separately I11 and I12, substituting the definitions of σ + (t) and σ − (t) respectively: t

The integrals I21 and I22 have the same structure of integrals I11 and I12. So the results are known:

γσ 0 Ey (γ + jωB ) γσ 0 = Ey (γ − jωB )

I 21 = I 22

I3 and I4 can be solved separately. Let's start with I3 substituting E x (t) = E x u(t) and the definition of σ yx (t) . So we obtain: t

by starting with the causality condition χ ( t ) u ( − t ) = 0 and translating it to the frequency domain, that is, expressing it as the convolution of the Fourier transforms of χ ( t ) and u ( − t ) .

Solution The convolution is a mathematical operation on two functions f and g, producing a third function that is typically viewed as a modified version of one of the original functions. In signal theory, it represents the transformation obtained when a signal passes through a black–box system with a known impulse response. In similar way, in frequency domain the output of the system is the product of the Fourier transformations of the input signal and the impulse response. So the convolution in time domain is also the corresponding operation of the product in frequency domain and vice versa. It is defined as:

( f ∗ g )( t )

Using the causality condition χ ( t ) = χ ( t ) u ( t ) , we have that

χ (ω ) = ℑ{ χ ( t )} = ℑ{χ ( t ) u ( t )} = ℑ{χ ( t )} ∗ ℑ{u ( t )} =

1 χ (ω ) ∗ U (ω ) 2π

where χ (ω ) and U (ω ) are the Fourier transforms of χ ( t ) and u ( t ) , respectively. The Fourier transformation of Heaviside step function is: U (ω ) =℘

The relation between the parallel components of vector D and vector E is the same in the two frame S and S'. On the contrary, the perpendicular component depends on both electric and magnetic field. In the fixed frame S the constitutive relation B = μH is not valid, so we have to evaluate it using the set (1.13.1) and the constitutive relation B' = μH' in the frame S' where it is valid.

Solution For a forward–moving wave, we have E ( z, t ) = F ( z − ct ) = F ( 0 − c ( t − z c ) ) , which implies that

E ( z, t ) is completely determined by E ( z,0 ) or, alternatively, by E ( 0, t ) : E ( z, t ) = E ( z − ct,0 ) = E ( 0, t − z c ) Using this property , we find for the electric and magnetic fields: E ( z, t ) = E ( 0, t − z c ) = xˆ E 0 ⎡⎣ u ( t − z c ) − u ( t − z c − T ) ⎤⎦ H ( z, t ) =

Solution For a single–frequency wave, we can assume a time–dependence as e jω t . So the electric and magnetic field can be expressed as E ( x, y, z, t ) = E ( x, y, z ) e jω t , H ( x, y, z, t ) = H ( x, y, z ) e jω t , respectively. The Maxwell's equations can be written in the form:

where we used the condition ∂zEz = 0 for a plane wave. So eq.(2.3.8) can be written as follow: ∂E = − jωμ H × zˆ ∂z

(2.3.9)

On the contrary, eq. (2.3.7) needs only to invert the cross product at the left–hand side and to change the sign at the right–hand side: ∂H × zˆ = − jωε E ∂z

Solution The polarization of a plane wave is defined to be the direction of the time–varying real–valued field E ( z, t ) = ℜe ⎡E ( z ) e jω t ⎤ where E ( z ) = E0e ± jkz . At any fixed point z, the vector E ( z, t ) may ⎣ ⎦ be along a fixed linear direction or it may be rotating as a function of t, tracing a circle or an ellipse.

where Ax and Ay are real–positive quantities. Extracting the real part for each component, we find the corresponding real–valued x,y components: E x ( z, t ) = A x cos (ω t ± kz + φx )

(

E y ( z, t ) = A y cos ω t ± kz + φ y

)

(2.8.3)

The sign of kz is defined by the direction of propagation of the wave: forward–moving fields have the minus sign, e.g. −kz , backward–moving fields the plus sign, e.g. +kz . In order to determine the polarization type of the waves, we consider the time–dependence of these fields at some fixed point along z–axis. For convenience we choose z = 0 : E x ( z, t ) = A x cos (ω t + φx )

(

E y ( z, t ) = A y cos ω t + φ y

)

The parameters Ax, Ay, φx , φy allow us to determine the type of polarization: ¾ Linear polarization ( φa = φb = 0 or φa = 0 , φb = −π ): the two components Ex , Ey are in phase and the electric field vector oscillates along a straight line. It is of interest the direction,

Circular polarization ( A x = A y and φx − φy = ± π 2 ): this is a particular case of elliptical polarization when the amplitudes of the components are equal.

The sign of the relative phase φ = φx − φy suggests the sense of rotation: counter–clockwise ( φ = − π 2 ) and clockwise ( φ = + π 2 ) and consequently, according to the direction of propagation, left or right elliptical polarization (or circular in particular cases).

E x ( t, z ) = E0 cos (ω t − kz + π 2 ) E y ( t, z ) = E0 cos (ω t − kz ) The wave is still forward–moving, but the relative phase φ = φx − φy = π 2 , so it is in general elliptical polarized.

and, because cos ( x ) = − cos ( x ± π ) , we obtain: E ( z, t ) = xˆ ( cos (ω t − kz ) − cos (ω t − kz − π 2 ) ) − yˆ ( cos (ω t − kz ) + cos (ω t − kz − π 2 ) ) = = xˆ ( cos (ω t − kz ) + cos (ω t − kz + π 2 ) ) − yˆ ( cos (ω t − kz ) + cos (ω t − kz − π 2 ) ) = 2xˆ ( cos (ω t − kz + π 4 ) cos ( − π 4 ) ) − 2yˆ ( cos (ω t − kz − π 4 ) cos (π 4 ) ) =

The electric field components are: E x ( z, t ) = 2 cos (ω t − kz + π 4 ) E y ( z, t ) = − 2 cos (ω t − kz − π 4 ) = 2 cos (ω t − kz + 3π 4 )

and it is easy to note that the relative phase φ = φx − φy = − π 2 , so according to Fig. 2.8.2 and Fig. 2.8.3, the sense of rotation is clockwise. The field is forward–moving and, using the IEEE convention, the field is left–circular polarized ( E x = E y ). In similar way, the exercise can be solved writing the complex amplitude of each component in the form: 2 2 ⎧⎪ a + jb = Me jϕ where ⎨M = a + b ⎪⎩ϕ = arctan b a

Case (c)

In this case the electric field doesn't propagate along the z direction, but it is tilted with respect to the z axis and lies on the z-x plane.

The values τ s , τ −s satisfy the identities (2.15.19) (c) and (2.15.19) (d) and so, if we substitute them inside (2.15.19) (a) or (b), we are able to eliminate φ in the definition of A′ , B′ and A, B.

Question n° 3

Consider the expression for E ( z1 ) and multiply it by the neutral term e jkz2 e− jkz2 : E ( z1 ) = E + e − jkz1 e jkz 2 e − jkz 2 + E − e jkz1 e jkz 2 e − jkz 2

consequently, E ( z1 ) = E + e − jkz 2 e jkA + E − e jkz 2 e − jkA

(2.23.14)

where A = z2 − z1 . Using the Euler's formula e jx = cos x + jsin x , eq. (2.23.14) can be written as: E ( z1 ) = E + e− jkz2 ( cos kA + jsin kA ) + E − e jkz2 ( cos kA − jsin kA ) =

(

)

(

)

= E + e− jkz 2 + E − e jkz2 cos kA + j E + e− jkz2 − E − e jkz 2 sin kA

(2.23.15)

The term that multiplies cos kA is simply E ( z 2 ) and the term that multiplies sin kA is simply

η H ( z 2 ) . Since the characteristic impedance of the medium η can be written as: η=

μ0 η η = 0 = 0 n ε 0ε r εr

where n is the refractive index, the eq. (2.23.15) becomes:

E ( z1 ) = E ( z 2 ) cos kA + j

η0H ( z 2 ) n

sin kA

(2.23.16)

In the same way it is possible to write H ( z1 ) as a function of E ( z 2 ) and H ( z 2 ) :

η0 H ( z1 ) = jnE ( z 2 ) sin kA + η0 H ( z 2 ) cos kA

(2.23.17)

Now eq. (2.23.16) and eq. (2.23.17) can be written in the matrix form as (2.23.3). •

The normalized wave impedance at location z1 is: Z ( z1 ) =

E ( z1 )

η0 H ( z1 )

and we can substitute the electric and magnetic field with their respective relationships (2.23.16) and (2.23.17). So: E ( z 2 ) cos kA + j

η0 H ( z 2 )

sin kA n Z ( z1 ) = jnE ( z 2 ) sin kA + η0 H ( z 2 ) cos kA

(2.23.18)

Dividing the numerator and denominator by η0 H ( z 2 ) cos kA , we have: E ( z 2 ) cos kA sin kA + jn −1 η0 H ( z 2 ) cos kA cos kA Z ( z 2 ) + jn −1 tan kA = Z ( z1 ) = E ( z 2 ) sin kA 1 + jnZ ( z 2 ) tan kA 1 + jn η0 H ( z 2 ) cos kA

The admittance Y ( z1 ) is the inverse of Z ( z1 ) :

Y ( z1 ) =

=

Y ( z 2 ) + jn tan kA

1 + jn −1Y ( z 2 ) tan kA

If we had normalized Z ( z ) and Y ( z ) to the medium impedance, simply we have to cancel the term n of refractive index inside eq. (2.23.19) and (2.23.20): Z ( z 2 ) + jtan kA ⎧ ⎪ Z ( z1 ) = 1 + jZ ( z 2 ) tan kA ⎪ ⎨ ⎪Y ( z ) = Y ( z 2 ) + jtan kA 1 ⎪ 1 + jY ( z 2 ) tan kA ⎩

Question n° 1

The electric field E1 after the polarizer is an attenuated form of the field E0 , that is each component is attenuated by a factor a1 or a2 , according to x– or y–directions respectively. So we can characterize the polarizer with a own attenuation matrix: ⎡a A=⎢ 1 ⎣0

The electric field E1 passes thought the second polarizer that is rotated of an angle by an angle ϕ so that the same gains a1 , a2 now refer to the x'– and y'–directions. The rotation can be expressed by the matrix (2.26.2) and then the x'– and y'–components of the field E2 have to be attenuated by a factor a1 or a2 , according to x– or y–directions respectively.

Exercises Chapter 2

The matrix operation (2.26.3) is simply the cascade of the matrix that we used to solve the point (1). In fact the first two matrixes are necessary to rotate and attenuate the field E1 that passes through the analyzer, the third matrix represents the attenuation through the polarizer and the fourth represents the tilt of the electric field vector with respect to the x– and y–directions. Using these matrixes operation, it is a very simple model system. In the matrix operation (2.26.4), shown here for simplicity, it is possible to note that there is a new matrix M at the beginning of the expression: ⎡ cos ϕ ⎢ sin ϕ ⎣

− sin ϕ ⎤ ⎡ a1 0 ⎤ ⎡ cos ϕ cos ϕ ⎥⎦ ⎢⎣ 0 a2 ⎥⎦ ⎢⎣ − sin ϕ

This has the same structure of a rotation matrix, but the angle is opposite, i.e. −ϕ . This suggest that (2.26.4) represents a system with another analyzer at the end tilted of an angle −ϕ , but without any attenuations. •

1 − β 2 . Setting k z = k cosθ , k x = k sin θ , with k = ω c , and similarly

in the frame S', k′z = k′ cos θ ′ , k′x = k′ sin θ ′ , with k ′ = ω ′ c , the Eqs. (2.27.4) may be rewritten in the form:

ω ′ = ωγ (1 − β cos θ ) ω ′ cos θ ′ = ωγ ( cos θ − β )

(2.27.5)

ω ′ sin θ ′ = ω sin θ The three equations are equivalent to evaluate the angular frequency ω ′ in the moving frame S' and they relate the different angular θ , θ ′ regardless of the frequency. From the first and second equation we can obtain the expression for cos θ ′ :

ω′ ⎧ ⎪ωγ = (1 − β cos θ ) ⎨ ⎪ω ′ cos θ ′ = ωγ ( cos θ − β ) ⎩

⇒

ω ′ cos θ ′ =

ω ′ ( cos θ − β ) (1 − β cos θ )

(2.27.6)

From the first and third equation, we have:

ω′ ⎧ ⎪ω = γ 1 − β cos θ ( ) ⎨ ⎪ω ′ sin θ ′ = ω sin θ ⎩

⇒

ω ′ sin θ ′ =

ω ′ sin θ γ (1 − β cos θ )

The half–angle formula for the tangent is in general: tan

(2.27.8)

and using it, we can obtain the third relationship of (2.27.1): tan θ ′ 2 =

(2.27.14)

The second identity in eq. (2.27.2), i.e. (1 + β cos θ )(1 − β cos θ ′ ) = 1 − β 2 , is formally identical to the first identity, but the angles θ , θ ′ are inverted. This is reasonable if the velocity vector v is directed in the negative z–direction, that is v → − v . Since the term β is defined as v c and it is the square, the sign of v is negligible and the identity is valid. The alternative Doppler formulas in eqs. (2.27.3) are obtained applying (2.27.14) to the relativistic Doppler formula, relating the frequency of the wave as measured by an observer in the moving frame S' to the frequency of a source in the fixed frame S: f ′ = fγ (1 − β cos θ ) = f

it was assumed that the plane wave was propagating in the z–direction in all three reference frames S, Sa, Sb.

γ b (1 − β b cos θ ) γ a (1 − β a cos θ )

(2.28.8)

If the observer moves with the same velocity of the frame Sa, he will have the sensation that the frame Sa is fixed and the frame Sb is moving. So it is possible to use the relationships (2.27.16): f ′ = fγ (1 − β cos θ ) =

(2.28.10)

The relationships between the angles θa , θb expressed in (2.28.5) can be obtained from the analogue expression for the angles θ , θ ′ :

cos θ ′ =

cos θ − β 1 − β cos θ

where θ ′ is the apparent angle along which the wave propagates in the moving frame, θ is the angle along which the wave propagates in the stationary frame and β is the ratio between the velocity v of the moving frame with respect to the fixed frame and the speed of light in vacuum.

2.29 ExerciseEquation Section (Next) Ground–penetrating radar operating at 900 MHz is used to detect underground objects, as shown in Fig. 2.29.1 for a buried–pipe. Assume that the earth has conductivity σ = 10−3 S m , permittivity

You may ignore the angular response of the radar antenna and assume it emits isotropically in all directions into the ground. 4. The depth d may be determined by measuring the roundtrip time t ( h ) of the transmitted signal at successive horizontal distances h. Show that t ( h ) is given by:
