Problem 1. Phasor Notation (30pts) : EE 383V Homework #1
Problem 1. Phasor Notation (30pts) : EE 383V Homework #1
(, ) = 0 ( + ) 0 .
Use the phasor notation (i.e. suppress the time-dependent component) and find the phasor
solution to the following questions:
(a) Find the reflected electric and magnetic fields in the region < 0, using the boundary
condition of a perfect electrical conductor.
(b) Find the total electric and magnetic fields in the region < 0
(c) Compute the Poynting vectors for the total fields for the region < 0. What is the
polarization of the reflected wave?
Problem 2. Gyrotropic dielectrics (20pts)
The permittivity tensor for a gyrotropic dielectric (magneto-optical) material is
0
[] = [ 0].

where [ ] is a 3x3 diagonal matrix. Find the matrix elements in [ ]? Using this result to
simplify the wave equation (2 + 2 [] = 0) for two polarizations [+ , 0, 0] and
[0, , 0] respectively, and find the propagation constants for the two polarizations at frequency
