Q2. Prove that the Instantaneous Poyinting vector for a circularly polarized plane wave propagating in a
lossless medium (in z direction) is a constant that is independent of time and distance.
(2 marks)
Answer
let E(z ) = E0 (ux  j uy )e jz for a general circularly polarized plane wave propagating in the +ve z direction
in phasor representation
H(z ) =

1 u  E(z ) = E0 (u  j u )e jz
x
0 z
0 y

= <fE(z )ej!t g = E0 (ux cos(!t z )  uy sin(!t z ))

E
H(z; t) = <fH(z )ej!t g = 0 (uy cos(!t z )  ux sin(!t z ))

E(z; t)

The instantaneous Poyinting Vector could be expressed as

P(z; t)

= E(z; t)  H(z; t)
2
= E 0 (cos2 (!t z ) + sin2 (!t z ))uz
0

= E 0 (1)uz
0

This proves that the instantaneous Poyinting Vector is independent of time and distance

Q3. The magnetic eld intensity of a plane wave traveling in a lossy earth is given by
H = (uy + j 2uz )H0 e x e jx
where H0 = 1A=m. Assuming the lossy earth has a conductivity of
the frequency of operation is 1 GHz , nd

10 4 S=m, a dielectric constant of 9, and

1. The phase constant(rad=m), attenuation constant (dB=m), and the intrinsic impedance of the medium.
2. The instantaneous expression of the corresponding electric eld.
3. The average power density vector.
