Beschreibung

Understanding electromagnetic wave theory is pivotal in the design of antennas, microwave circuits, radars, and imaging systems. Researchers behind technology advances in these and other areas need to understand both the classical theory of electromagnetics as well as modern and emerging techniques of solving Maxwell's equations. To this end, the book provides a graduate-level treatment of selected analytical and computational methods.

The analytical methods include the separation of variables, perturbation theory, Green's functions, geometrical optics, the geometrical theory of diffraction, physical optics, and the physical theory of diffraction. The numerical techniques include mode matching, the method of moments, and the finite element method. The analytical methods provide physical insights that are valuable in the design process and the invention of new devices. The numerical methods are more capable of treating general and complex structures. Together, they form a basis for modern electromagnetic design.

The level of presentation allows the reader to immediately begin applying the methods to some problems of moderate complexity. It also provides explanations of the underlying theories so that their capabilities and limitations can be understood.

Preface

The technologies related to electromagnetic waves go back to Hertz, Marconi and the radar systems of World War II. The knowledge gained during those eras propelled the subsequent development of microwave and satellite communications and the ubiquitous wireless technology of today. Understanding electromagnetic scattering is pivotal in the applications of radar target identification, underground geophysical probing as well as security applications such as airport scanners and seeing through walls. Computational electromagnetic modelling is a key element in the design of commercial and military aircraft, and navy ships, where the placement of dozens of collocated antennas must be carefully considered, so that intersystem interference can be mitigated.

Researchers behind these and other advances in technology need to understand both the classical theory of electromagnetics and modern techniques for solving Maxwell's equations. To this end, this book provides a graduate-level treatment of selected topics. Chapters 1 and 2 present background material on Maxwell's equations, plane waves and rigorous and approximate boundary conditions. Chapter 3 develops solutions for rectangular, cylindrical and dielectric waveguides and resonators. In Chapter 4, some crucial theorems, principles and potential theory are explained in detail. Chapter 5 presents the solutions to some canonical problems that have an exact solution, such as the cylinder, wedge and sphere. Chapter 6 describes the method of moments. Chapter 7 covers the finite element method. Chapter 8 is about the uniform geometrical theory of diffraction, and Chapter 9 covers physical optics and the physical theory of diffraction. Chapters 10–12 are about Green's functions and their applications.

Analytical methods provide physical insights that are valuable in the design process and the invention of new devices. The separation of variables method is applied to waveguides, cylinders, wedges and other canonical shapes. Asymptotic methods address the evaluation of integrals, as well as diffraction theory. Green's function concepts are presented in the two-dimensional (2D) scalar and three-dimensional (3D) dyadic forms, and their interpretation is given in relation to the surface equivalence principle.

Numerical methods are indispensable as they allow us to solve highly arbitrary and realistic problems that the purely analytical techniques cannot. The method of moments and the finite element method are described in dedicated chapters. The level of presentation allows the reader to immediately begin applying the methods to some problems of moderate complexity. It also provides an explanation of the underlying theory so that its capabilities and limitations can be understood. This has value as it helps one make informed decisions when using modern CAD tools.

Often, in the preliminary stages of research, it is very useful to investigate field behaviour by using 2D problems. This way, it is often possible to greatly simplify the problem while still retaining the essential characteristics of the fields. It is also a good way to learn the subject, as it minimizes the mathematical complexity and makes the field solutions easier to physically interpret. The book emphasizes a 2D approach, however, where appropriate, 3D is also used.

The book is aimed at graduate students and engineers in industry and R&D labs. The minimum assumed background is an undergraduate course in waves and transmission lines. The first three chapters aim to put all readers on an equal footing – thereby readers with diverse backgrounds and levels of familiarity are accommodated. The coverage is intended to assist research students who are beginning to explore the current engineering literature, as well as more experienced researchers who need to learn about new topics.

The way people look for relevant literature has changed dramatically in the past 20 years. For this reason, no attempt has been made to compile a comprehensive list of references, which in any case would be prone to rapid obsolescence. Rather, each chapter contains a small list of references that should help readers proceed and find the key books and papers that address their specific interests. Many fine works have been omitted, and should any authors feel slighted, I offer my apologies in advance.

The topics are not necessarily arranged by the subject category, but in the order that they are most easily learned and applied. Some topics are revisited at a gradually increasing depth. For instance, waveguides are in Chapters 3 and 4, and the surface equivalence principle is in Chapters 4 and 10.

The homework problems have been developed with an intention to provide motivation and opportunities for practice, as well as revealing new concepts. There are problems for review purposes, for analytical development and for programming.

For both analytical and numerical techniques, it is a rewarding step to generate numerical results. The computer-oriented homework problems allow the reader to apply numerical techniques. Some of the problems involve minor modifications of existing programs instead of coding from scratch. Therefore, larger amounts of material and more ambitious problems can be covered in a given time. Many other problems involve little or no computer work, so instructors can choose to opt out of the computation-oriented format or else solve some of the problems with their own code.

The supporting code is written in Fortran 90, which is widely used in computational science and high-performance computing. Well-tested subroutines are provided for special functions, diffraction coefficients, root finding, numerical integration and matrix manipulations. The Netlib repository is extensively used. In this book, the object-oriented capability of Fortran 90 has been used to develop easy-to-use interfaces that hide the complexity of large subroutines.

Computing and plotting can be done with public-domain software that is available under Linux, Windows and Mac OS X. It is assumed that the reader has some prior experience with a programming or scripting language, but not necessarily Fortran 90. Appendix F summarizes the essentials, so that the reader can begin computational work with little difficulty.

Chapter 1Background

This chapter provides a review of Maxwell's equations in integral and differential forms. The capacitor and inductor are used to demonstrate and interpret the integral forms. The Poynting theorem, Lorentz reciprocity theorem, Friis transmission formula and radar range equation are also described. Some of the properties of high-frequency asymptotic techniques are reviewed.

1.1 Field Laws

Maxwell's equations in integral form are

1.1
1.2
1.3
1.4

We will use the MKS system of units. The Volt, Ampere, Coulomb, Weber, and Tesla are abbreviated as V, A, C, Wb, and T. The electric field is in ; the magnetic field is in ; the electric flux density is in , and the magnetic flux density is in (equivalent to ). The electric current density is in ; charge is in , and charge density is in .

The surface and volume integrals are associated with the mathematical surfaces shown in Figure 1.1. The first equation is Faraday's law. The second one is credited to Ampère and Maxwell, and the third one is Gauss's law. The fourth equation is called Gauss's law for magnetism. The group of four equations is usually referred to as Maxwell's equations.

Figure 1.1 Mathematical surfaces associated with the field laws. (a) Closed surface and volume, (b) open surface and contour C, (c) boundary between regions 1 and 2.

If a region has fields , , and a charge is moving through those fields with a velocity u, the charge will experience a force, in accordance with the Lorentz force law

1.5

Charge cannot be created or destroyed. Any increase or decrease of charge occurs because there is a current. This is stated mathematically as the continuity equation. In integral form, the outflux of current across a closed surface S equals the time rate of decrease of the charge that is inside S

1.6

The point-form equivalent is

1.7

By integrating both sides of (1.7) over a volume V and applying the divergence theorem to the left-hand side, the integral form (1.6) is obtained.

From the electric field, the voltage is

1.8

An electric field having is said to be irrotational. This occurs in electrostatics and in the transverse cross section of a transmission line. In these cases, the line integral becomes path independent, and hence, the voltage is uniquely defined by the endpoints a and b.

From the magnetic field, the current is

1.9

where is in the direction of the right-hand thumb and C is a closed contour in the direction of the fingers. This relationship is strictly true for steady (DC) currents. It is still true in the AC case if there is no component perpendicular to the surface bounded by C.

1.2 Properties of Materials

The electrical properties of materials are governed by their physical makeup. In this book, the physics and chemistry of these topics will not be covered, and the reader is referred to the references at the end of the chapter. It will be adequate for our purposes to describe the mathematical models that account for the presence of materials.

In free space, we have the constitutive relations

1.10
1.11
1.12
1.13

Interestingly, in any system of units, the value of or can be arbitrarily chosen. However, must equal the speed of light. In the MKS system, in (1.13) is chosen as an exact value. Then, in (1.12) is determined.

In dielectric materials,

1.14

The term is what we have in free space. If a dielectric is present, the applied electric field will push its atomic charges, positive towards one direction and negative in the opposite direction, forming dipoles. These dipoles contribute an additionalelectric flux density , the polarization in . Generally, the relation between and can be complicated, that is, non-linear. In the special case of linear materials, is linearly proportional to the applied field. More precisely, where the constant of proportionality is called the electric susceptibility. In this case,

1.15

Therefore, in linear materials, we can use the simple relation where the permittivity is .

In magnetic materials,

1.16

The term is what we have in free space. If a magnetic material is present, the applied magnetic field will reorient the material's electronic orbits (which act as current loops) and contribute an additional magnetic flux density , the magnetization in . In non-linear materials, the relation between and can be complicated. In the special case of linear materials, where the constant of proportionality is called the magnetic susceptibility. In this case,

1.17

Therefore, in linear materials, we can use the simple relation where the permeability is .

In a good conductor, when an electric field is applied, the charges move immediately. Dipoles (as in a dielectric) do not have a chance to form. Therefore, and consequently . In non-magnetic materials, . Such approximations are good for non-magnetic conductors such as aluminium or copper.

1.3 Types of Currents

The convection current is associated with charges that are moving with a velocity u

1.18

Such a ‘stream’ of charged particles occurs, for example, in a vacuum tube, a cathode ray tube or a scanning electron microscope.

Inside a conductor, an electric field will push on the charges and cause a conduction current

1.19

The conductivity is in S/m (Siemens/m, or equvalently, mho/m). The main difference between a convection current and a conduction current is that the latter type occurs in an electrically neutral material. For example, in a wire, for every charge that enters at one end, a charge leaves at the other end. Therefore there is no net charge and .

An impressed current is independent of the field around it, but the field around it depends on the impressed current. An example of an impressed current is a dipole antenna. An induced current comes from the interaction of a field with any surrounding media and/or boundaries. As an example, if a dipole antenna illuminates a metal body, it will cause surface currents to flow on the body; these are induced currents. The purpose of induced currents is that they adjust themselves in just the right way so that their field, when added to the impressed field, will give a total field that satisfies the boundary conditions, that is, on the metal. Inside dielectrics there are volume-equivalent induced currents; these are discussed in Chapter 4.

1.4 Capacitors, Inductors

To gain a better understanding of Maxwell's equations in the integral form, this section demonstrates their application to the fields inside capacitors and inductors.

First, the Ampere-Maxwell equation

1.20

will be applied to a capacitor, in Figure 1.2. The capacitor supports an electric field in the region . With in case (a), the current density pierces . Because is zero outside the capacitor, will be zero on , so that (1.20) becomes

1.21

With in case (b), the current density is zero on and so that

1.22

The right-hand side of (1.21) is the total current . Since C is the same in both cases, the left-hand side of (1.21) and (1.22) are equal. This leads to

or

Recognizing the capacitance , we see that

1.23

Figure 1.2 (a) Contour C bounds the disk . (b) Contour C bounds the open surface .

If is right at the surface of the plate, then , and we can say that from which we obtain the well-known result . Equating this with (1.23) implies that , which gives us the capacitance .

Next, we apply Faraday's law to a wire loop and a toroidal inductor. Figure 1.3(a) shows a wire loop in the plane. The integration path C is tangent to the wire and crosses the gap at the terminals 1–2. Because on the wire, the line integral is zero everywhere except at the gap, and

1.24

The direction of C implies that . Let us denote the flux through the loop as
