Figure 7.2: A guided wave in a coaxial transmission line.
Figure 7.3: Spherical wavefronts.
Figure 7.4: A transverse electromagnetic (TEM) wave.
Figure 7.5: Spatial variations of E and H.
Figure 7.6: The wave (E,H) is equivalent to the sum of two waves.
Figure 7.7: Linearly polarized wave traveling in the +z-direction.
Figure 7.8: Circularly polarized plane waves propagating in the +z-direction.
Figure 7.9: Right-hand circularly polarized wave radiated by a helical antenna.
Figure 7.10: Right-hand circularly polarized wave of Example 7-2.
Figure 7.11: Polarization ellipse in the x-y plane, with the wave travelling in the +z-direction.
Figure 7.12: Polarization states for various combinations of the polarization angles (,) for a wave traveling out of the page.
Figure 7.13: Attenuation of the magnitude of Ex(z) with distance z. The skin depth s is the value of z at which |Ex(z)| / |Ex0| = e -1, or z = s = 1/.
Figure 7.14: Current density J in a conducting wire is (a) uniform across its cross section in the d-c case, but (b) in the a-c case, J is highest along the wire's perimeter.
Figure 7.15: Exponential decay of current density Jx(z) with z in a solid conductor.
Figure 7.16: The inner conductor of the coaxial cable in (a) is represented in (b) by a planar conductor or width 2a and depth s, as if its skin has been cut along its length on the bottom side and then unfurled into a planar geometry.
Figure 7.17: EM power flow through an aperture.
Figure 7.18: Solar radiation intercepted by (a) a spherical surface of radius Rs, and (b) Earth's surface (Example 7-5).
Figure 7.19: Imaginary rectangular box of Problems 7.31 and 7.32.
