wave propagates on a grounded dielectric
slab as shown below. (The structure is
infinite in the y direction.) In the air z
region above the slab (z > 0), the electric
field in the phasor domain has the
following form:
E(x,z)=yee [V/m],
E,
where k, and a are both positive real numbers. Note that there is no y variation of the fields of
this surface wave.
a) Find the magnetic field vector H, in the phasor domain, and the complex Poynting vector in
the air region.
b) Find the time average power in watts going (from left to right) through a surface S, which
extends from the top of the slab (z = 0) to infinity in the vertical z direction and is one meter
wide in the y direction.
