Plane Wave Propagation and Reflection in 3-D
[attachment=49480]
Propagation and Interference in 3-D
• Physical properties of plane waves
• Mathematical expressions for the spatial variation
• Interference of waves for propagation in a plane
• Rayleigh and Rician statistics
• Spatial correlation of the fields and Doppler Spread
Summary of Plane Wave Reflection
• Continuity of fields at an interface requires that the components
of the wave vectors parallel to the interface all be equal
• Impedances for TE and TM polarizations allows the use of
transmission line formulas for reflection and transmission
coefficients
• TM wave experience total transmission at Brewster’s angle
• Interference of the incident and ground reflected waves results
in height gain for an antenna
