    Lossy Media
    3

    To examine wave propagation in a lossy (conducting) medium, we return to the wave


    equation given by
    𝛻𝛻 2 𝐄𝐄� − 𝛾𝛾 2 𝐄𝐄� = 0
    with

    where ε' = ε and ε" = σ/ω. Since γ is complex, we express it as

    where α is the medium's attenuation constant and β its phase constant. By replacing γ with
    (α+ jβ), we obtain

    The rules of complex algebra require the real and imaginary parts on one side of an
    equation to equal the real and imaginary parts on the other side. Hence,

    Solving these two equations for α and β gives

    For a uniform plane wave with electric field E = x Ex(z) traveling along the z-direction, the
    wave equation reduces to

    The general solution of the wave equation comprises two waves, one traveling in the +z-
    direction and another traveling in the -z-direction, Assuming only the former is present, the
    solution of the wave equation leads to

    The associated magnetic field H can be determined by ∇×E = -jωµH, or using H = (k × E)/ηC,
    where ηC is the intrinsic impedance of the lossy medium. Both approaches give

    Magnitude of E

    Skin depth

    𝛿𝛿S =
    𝜔𝜔𝜔𝜔𝜔𝜔

    the wave magnitude decreases by a factor of


    e-1 . At depth z = 3δS, the field magnitude is
    less than 5% of its initial value, and at z = 5δS,
    it is less than 1%.

    This distance is called the skin depth of the


    medium, characterizes how deep an
    electromagnetic wave can penetrate into a
    conducting medium. Skin depth is due to the circulating eddy currents (arising
    from a changing H field) cancelling the current flow in the
    center of a conductor and reinforcing it in the skin.

    In a perfect dielectric, σ= 0 and ε" = 0; α = 0 and therefore δS = ∞.


    Thus, in free space, a plane wave can propagate indefinitely with no loss in magnitude.

    In a perfect conductor, σ = ∞; α = ∞ and therefore δS = 0.


    If the outer conductor of a coaxial cable is designed to be several skin depths thick, it
    prevents energy inside the cable from leaking outward and shields against penetration
    of electromagnetic energy from external sources into the cable.

    Remembering

    When ε" / ε' << 1, the medium is considered low-loss dielectric, and when ε" / ε' >> 1,
    it is considered a good conductor.

    In practice, the medium may be regarded as a


    low-loss dielectric if ε" / ε' < 10-2,
    good conductor if ε" / ε' > 102
    quasi-conductor if 10-2 << ε" / ε' << 102.

    Exercise

    Exercise 7-7: The constitutive parameters of copper are µ =µo = 4π x 10-7 (H/m), ε = ε0 =
    (1/36π) x 10-9 (F/m), and σ = 5.8 x 107 (S/m). Assuming that these parameters are frequency
    independent, over what frequency range of the electromagnetic spectrum (see Fig.) is copper a
    good conductor?
    Answer: f < 1.04 x 1016 Hz, which includes the radio, infrared, visible, and part of the ultraviolet
    regions of the EM spectrum.

    Exercise 7-8: Over what frequency range may dry soil, with εr = 3, µr = 1, and σ = 10-4
    (S/m), be regarded as a low-loss dielectric?
    Answer: f > 60 MHz.

    Exercise 7-9: For a wave traveling in a medium with a skin depth δS , what is the amplitude
    of E at a distance of 3δS compared with its initial value?
    Answer: e-3 ~ 0.05 or 5%.
