‘Redshift’ in Electromagnetic Waves

Universal electromagnetic waves in dielectric

The dielectric susceptibility of a wide class of dielectric materials follows, over extended frequency ranges, a fractional power-law frequency dependence that is called the ‘universal’ response. The electromagnetic fields in such dielectric media are described by fractional differential equations with time derivatives of non-integer order. An exact solution of the fractional equations for a ma...

Electromagnetic Waves in Cavity Design

Understanding electromagnetic wave phenomena is very important to be able to design RF cavities such as for atmospheric microwave plasma torch, microwave vacuum oscillator/amplifier, and charged-particle accelerator. This chapter deals with some electromagnetic wave equations to show applications to develop the analytic design formula for the cavity. For the initial and crude design parameter, ...

Electromagnetic Waves in Stratified Media

This book [1] was written at an important point in the development of applications of electromagnetic (radio) waves to communications, navigation, and remote sensing. Such applications require accurate propagation predictions for a variety of path conditions, and this book provides the theoretical basis for such predictions. The book is based on fundamental research in electromagnetic wave prop...

Diffraction of Electromagnetic Waves

The general method to obtain solutions of the Maxwellian equations from scalar representatives is developed and applied to the diffraction of electromagnetic waves. Kirchhoff’s integral is modified to provide explicit expressions for these representatives. The respective integrals are then evaluated using the method of stationary phase in two dimensions. Hitherto unknown formulae for the polari...
