37. 1-36 Polarization (FEME, Sec. 1.4, 4.5; EEE6E, Sec. 3.6)

38. 1-37 Sinusoidal function of time

39. 1-38 Polarization is the characteristic which describes how the position of the tip of the vector varies with time. Linear Polarization: Tip of the vector describes a line. Circular Polarization: Tip of the vector describes a circle.

40. 1-39 Elliptical Polarization: Tip of the vector describes an ellipse. (i)Linear Polarization Linearly polarized in the x direction. Direction remains along the x axis Magnitude varies sinusoidally with time

41. 1-40 Linear polarization

42. 1-41 Direction remains along the y axis Magnitude varies sinusoidally with time Linearly polarized in the y direction. If two (or more) component linearly polarized vectors are in phase, (or in phase opposition), then their sum vector is also linearly polarized. Ex:

43. 1-42 Sum of two linearly polarized vectors in phase is a linearly polarized vector

44. 1-43 (ii) Circular Polarization If two component linearly polarized vectors are (a) equal to amplitude (b) differ in direction by 90˚ (c) differ in phase by 90˚, then their sum vector is circularly polarized.

45. 1-44

46. 4-45 Example:

47. 4-46 (iii) Elliptical Polarization In the general case in which either of (i) or (ii) is not satisfied, then the sum of the two component linearly polarized vectors is an elliptically polarized vector. Ex:

48. 1-47 Example:

49. 4-48 D3.17 F 1 and F 2 are equal in amplitude (= F 0 ) and differ in direction by 90˚. The phase difference (say  ) depends on z in the manner –2  z – (–3  z) =  z. (a)At (3, 4, 0),  =  (0) = 0. (b)At (3, –2, 0.5),  =  (0.5) = 0.5 .

50. 4-49 (c) At (–2, 1, 1),  =  (1) = . (d)At (–1, –3, 0.2) =  =  (0.2) = 0.2 .

53. Poynting’s Theorem Power dissipation density Electric stored energy density Magnetic stored energy density 42 Source power density

54. Interpretation of Poynting’s Theorem Poynting’s Theorem says that the power delivered to the volume V by the current source J 0 is accounted for by the power dissipated in the volume due to the conduction current in the medium, plus the time rates of increase of the energies stored in the electric and magnetic fields, plus another term, which we must interpret as the power carried by the electromagnetic field out of the volume V, for conservation of energy to be satisfied. It then follows that the Poynting vector P has the meaning of power flow density vector associated with the electro- magnetic field. We note that the units of E x H are volts per meter times amperes per meter, or watts per square meter (W/m 2 ) and do indeed represent power density. 43
