Example 1
A uniform plane wave with propagates in the +z
direction in a lossless medium with r = 4 and r = 1.
Assume that Ex is sinusoidal with a frequency of 100 MHz
and that it has a positive maximum value of 10-4 V/m at t =
0 and z = 1/8 m.
(a) Calculate the wavelength and the phase velocity up,
and find expressions for the instantaneous electric and
magnetic field intensities.
(b) Determine the positions where Ex is a positive
maximum at the time instant t = 10-8s.

2. Introduction of phasor
Phasor analysis is a useful mathematical tool for solving problems
involving linear systems in which the excitation is a periodic function.
For example, we have learned in circuit theory for alternating current
(AC) that sinusoidal varying voltages and currents can be expressed in
phasor forms:
For example,
