Figure 2.1-2 Generation and Propagation of Electromagnetic Waves
Figure 2.1-3 shows the Electric and Magnetic fields, which form the electromagnetic wave, from a
different angle.
Figure 2.1-3 Electric and Magnetic fields for an Electromagnetic Wave
Electromagnetic waves are ubiquitous in everyday life. Without them there would be no
mobile phones, no wireless internet, no satellite or cable TV and no Microwave ovens, to name but a
few!
EM Waves can either be "guided" through suitable structures, designed to contain their
electric and magnetic fields, or transmitted out into free space or other media. In this chapter we
will focus on the former topic and in particular on the fundamental building blocks of any radio
frequency and microwave circuits, transmission lines.
