Plane Wave: Introduction
According to Maxwell’s equations, a time-varying electric field produces a time-varying magnetic field and, conversely, a time-varying magnetic field produces an electric field( i.e. )
– Called electromagnetic waves
– Wireless applications are possible because electromagnetic waves can propagate in free space without any guiding structures.

Spherical Wave and Plane Wave
When energy is emitted by a source, such as an antenna, it expands outwardly from the source in the form of spherical waves.Far away from the source, the spherical wave could be considered as a plane wave.

Time-Harmonic Fields
In last chapter, both electric and magnetic fields are expressed as functions of time and position.– In real applications, time signals can be expressed as
sum of sinusoidal waveforms. So it is convenient to use the phasor notation to express fields in the frequency domain.

Summary
Plane wave is a particular solution of the Maxwell’s equation, where both the electric field and magnetic field are perpendicular to the propagation direction of the wave.
E- and H-field vectors for a plane wave propagating in z-direction

Example
Example: A uniform plane wave with E=Exax propagates in a lossless medium (εr=4, µr=1, σ=0) in the z-direction. If Ex has a frequency of 100MHz and has a maximum value of 10-4 (V/m) at t=0 and z=1/8 (m),
a) write the instantaneous expression for E and H, b) determine the locations where Ex is a positive maximum when t=10-8s.
