Electromagnetic Wave Propagation

Fernando L. Teixeira,
Fernando J. S. Moreira,
Odilon M. C. Pereira‐Filho

Abstract: This chapter discusses the nature of electromagnetic wave propagation. After a brief historical overview and a description of the electromagnetic frequency spectrum, plane waves are introduced as fundamental solutions to Maxwell's equations. Basic concepts such as wavelength, Poynting vector (power flux density), and phase velocity are explained in view of such waves. The transverse nature of electromagnetic waves in free space and its relation to polarization are also discussed. The chapter continues with an … Show more
