circular polarization

The electric field of a monochromatic plane wave travelling in a lossless isotropic and homogenous medium is given by $\vec{E}(z,t) = E_0[\hat{x}cos(\omega t - kz) + \hat{y}sin(\om...

If a right-handed circularly polarized wave is incident normally on a plane perfect conductor, then the reflected wave will be

The electric field of an electromagnetic wave propagating in the positive z-direction is given by $$$E = {\widehat a_x}\sin \left( {\omega t - \beta z} \right) + {\widehat a_y}\sin...

A transverse electromagnetic wave with circular polarization is received by a dipole antenna. Due to polarization mismatch, the power transfer efficiency from the wave to the anten...
