00:20.830 --> 00:33.200
Welcome to this first lecture on the NPTEL
course, on Basic Building Blocks of Microwave

00:33.200 --> 00:41.960
Engineering. Now, the theme of this first
week lecture will be the mathematical model

00:41.960 --> 00:48.590
of Microwave Transmission, you know that,
from the source the electromagnetic energy

00:48.590 --> 00:54.230
propagates. Now it propagates through various
channels and then, reaches it is destination,

00:54.230 --> 01:05.040
or receiver or sink. Now will model first,
this first part, the transmission and when

01:05.040 --> 01:11.670
the theme, the first lecture today that will
address is, concept of mode in Microwave Transmission.

01:11.670 --> 01:20.070
Myself, Amitabha Bhattacharya, here in E & ECE
department IIT, Kharagpur; you can reach me

01:20.070 --> 01:22.860
in my email here.

01:22.860 --> 01:35.940
Now, let us see, if we will look at the universe,
when we are, if you look beyond our territory

01:35.940 --> 01:45.290
that is earth, you see, we see so many stars,
so many galaxies etcetera. Now do know, that,

01:45.290 --> 01:52.070
all of them, they radiate either light, that
is why we are seeing them or they are also

01:52.070 --> 02:02.360
radiating electromagnetic radiation, and there
is one Nobel laureate Michel Boot, who measured,

02:02.360 --> 02:10.330
and found that in earth everywhere, we have
something like 2 degree Kelvin, of microwave

02:10.330 --> 02:15.640
radiation always, that the background microwave
radiation. So, always we are getting bombarded

02:15.640 --> 02:25.090
with microwave radiation, we are living with
it. Also you know, some emits solar flare,

02:25.090 --> 02:32.050
that is why when the solar flare reaches earth,
it is not always, but sometimes when it reaches,

02:32.050 --> 02:34.270
solar flare is different from the normal light.

02:34.270 --> 02:41.890
So, solar flare when it reaches, all the activities
in communication etcetera, they get stopped.

02:41.890 --> 02:47.510
So, ISRO has a calendar, they keep track of
when they solar flare reaches us, and that

02:47.510 --> 02:53.840
so they notify, and that time all our satellite
etcetera, they stop working, because solar

02:53.840 --> 03:01.450
flare creates magnetosphere and that creates
huge magnetic, electromagnetic field.

03:01.450 --> 03:07.800
All of you are familiar with this side in
rainy season, you will see lightning. Now

03:07.800 --> 03:15.819
you see a lightning striking the earth, it
is a huge source of electromagnetic emission

03:15.819 --> 03:23.660
due to the high potential, high static charge
potential, there is, air gets break down and

03:23.660 --> 03:29.830
that is why, you see that, due to that break
down the light gets produced, the sound gets

03:29.830 --> 03:32.720
produced.
Now, sound is not electromagnetic energy,

03:32.720 --> 03:41.680
but this light is and that it reaches earth,
it, you know, if you try to received this

03:41.680 --> 03:48.330
energy, you will get killed, but that energy
comes here, when it is not striking, either

03:48.330 --> 03:49.590
a tree, or anything.

03:49.590 --> 03:55.450
But, in the whole atmosphere, you are pervaded
with these terrestrial lightings. Then you

03:55.450 --> 04:01.950
see satellites, natural satellites in the
right side, in the left side the man made

04:01.950 --> 04:06.709
satellites, huge number of them, all of them
or communicating with earth by what, by electromagnetic

04:06.709 --> 04:12.959
signal. So, you are always getting signals
from them.

04:12.959 --> 04:19.160
Then you see, let us see a typical family,
how we are surviving today, there are Wi-Fi,

04:19.160 --> 04:24.660
that is emitting electromagnetic environment.
You see satellite, that is doing that you

04:24.660 --> 04:31.130
see TV, that is doing that, you see mobile
phone, nothing but electromagnetic radiation,

04:31.130 --> 04:40.770
you see ground station, satellite ground station,
you see your tab or pager something, you see

04:40.770 --> 04:47.240
mobile phone, you see the electric towers
you see so many devices. So, we are living

04:47.240 --> 04:48.240
with it.

04:48.240 --> 04:54.770
Now, we need to understand this environment,
if we want to must have this technology. So,

04:54.770 --> 05:00.779
let us see that electromagnetic spectrum,
you see, staring from the soccer field, that

05:00.779 --> 05:08.130
large size of wave length to water molecule
etcetera all are electromagnetic environment.

05:08.130 --> 05:15.050
But we would not talk with this whole spectrum
our microwave technology means, you see, we

05:15.050 --> 05:21.020
have noted that, radio waves you can see,
that up to the soccer field to up to the base

05:21.020 --> 05:27.330
ball size of wave length base ball diameter
wave length, that is radio waves, but after

05:27.330 --> 05:35.860
that, from base ball to let us say, this,
a point dot, that wave length type of radiation,

05:35.860 --> 05:41.729
the radiation for which wave length is that
long, that is denoted as microwave as you

05:41.729 --> 05:51.260
can see, that, this is the zone of microwave.
So, here we will mainly talk of that, and

05:51.260 --> 05:57.900
just beyond that, you see if, you go still
further in wavelength; that means, still higher

05:57.900 --> 06:03.099
you know, frequency you can appropriately
see from here, we are reaching terahertz variation.

06:03.099 --> 06:08.530
Now, microwave radiation, as the technology
is progressing day by day, it is going towards

06:08.530 --> 06:17.439
terahertz radiation, and similarly this, terahertz
radiation also coming day by day, beyond,

06:17.439 --> 06:24.110
so, almost this 2 technologies are getting
merged, or I think, when you people will be

06:24.110 --> 06:27.689
finishing your career, that time it will be
completely merged.

06:27.689 --> 06:36.139
So, we need to understand this technology,
and for that, this following lectures will

06:36.139 --> 06:42.099
help, you to understand the basics of that.
Now you see, from all these field, if I look

06:42.099 --> 06:46.969
at any environment, actually we are doing
in a particular place, we are trying to map

06:46.969 --> 06:52.879
the electromagnetic field distribution, and
it came sometime like this, there is a color

06:52.879 --> 07:00.839
plot. So, you see the red ones, there the
maximum things, maximum radiation that the

07:00.839 --> 07:05.240
electromagnetic radiation, then it is coming
down, it is actually the radiation density,

07:05.240 --> 07:08.580
electric field radiation density, at that
point.

07:08.580 --> 07:14.800
And you see that gradually it is going down;
obviously, this blue etcetera, those are very

07:14.800 --> 07:23.119
low, but you see there are various types of
this, field distributions are possible.

07:23.119 --> 07:30.080
Now the question is, if you want to understand,
and Microwave Engineering, then we needs a

07:30.080 --> 07:37.289
model, that is the basic task of any engineering,
that when we try to analyze or we try to understand

07:37.289 --> 07:42.879
something, we make a model. So, that is why
we say that if you want to understand, you

07:42.879 --> 07:48.379
want to design, you want to analyze any practical
system, you want a mathematical model. So,

07:48.379 --> 07:54.590
for Microwave Transmission system also we
want model of this EM signal. As I shown you,

07:54.590 --> 08:00.300
just before that, if I want to have what is
happening, I need a model, mathematical model

08:00.300 --> 08:06.779
of EM signal. Now EM signal again, I have
listed for your convenience from that spectrum

08:06.779 --> 08:12.560
graph, that you know x ray light ray, infrared
microwave, TV, radio, radar, mobile telephone,

08:12.560 --> 08:21.249
landline telephone, everything comes under
EM signal out of that, I can say that, microwave,

08:21.249 --> 08:29.509
TV, then radar, then somewhat mobile telephone
these are in our microwave zone.

08:29.509 --> 08:35.719
So, the question is, do we need for each of
this type of signals, because each of signal

08:35.719 --> 08:40.760
will be different, that is why, there are
co-existing at any place all the signals are

08:40.760 --> 08:41.760
present.

08:41.760 --> 08:46.911
Now that means, if I want to understand, do
I need a model for each of these signal? Then

08:46.911 --> 08:55.900
my job is just remembering all those models,
it will be a huge task fortunately it is not.

08:55.900 --> 09:04.901
So, now, all these EM signals, they will be
Maxwell’s laws. All EM signals, light, you

09:04.901 --> 09:13.330
know proved that, light is indeed a form of
electromagnetic radiation. Let us see, light

09:13.330 --> 09:18.270
and mobile phone signal, now both can be see
light can be seen, but mobile phone signal

09:18.270 --> 09:24.320
cannot be seen, but still both of them obeys
Maxwell’s equation. There are various solutions

09:24.320 --> 09:30.070
of Maxwell’s laws, light signal is one such
solution, mobile phone signal is another such

09:30.070 --> 09:33.750
solution, radar signal is another such solution,
etcetera, etcetera.

09:33.750 --> 09:41.000
So, do I need to understand all these? So;
that means, let us make a set of all EM signals.

09:41.000 --> 09:48.140
So, one can make a set of all such EM signals
are all these signals independent? If it was,

09:48.140 --> 09:55.230
then we had to understand all these signals,
but no answer is no, fortunate for us there

09:55.230 --> 10:01.770
are a minimal number of independent solutions,
such that, all EM signals cab be expressed

10:01.770 --> 10:09.750
as, linear combinations of them. So, we see
that, though there are various solutions,

10:09.750 --> 10:17.740
but they are not independent, there is a minimal
list of independent solutions and all solutions

10:17.740 --> 10:26.351
are linear combinations of them. So, that
we have fortunate and these minimal numbers

10:26.351 --> 10:37.860
of independent solutions are called modes.
So, you see, that people generally say, that

10:37.860 --> 10:45.200
modes, what is a mode? Modes are solutions
of Maxwell's equation. I say it is partly

10:45.200 --> 10:51.930
to answer because, any electromagnetic signal
as I said, that light signal, or a microwave

10:51.930 --> 10:55.300
signal, or a radar signal, that is also solution
of electromagnetic signal.

10:55.300 --> 11:01.820
But all signals are not called modes. Modes
are the number of independent solutions minimal

11:01.820 --> 11:05.030
number in which we can express.

11:05.030 --> 11:12.240
Now those who are familiar with set theory,
they understand, that basically, this we can

11:12.240 --> 11:19.010
call as a basis set you see, if I have a set
of signals, then there is a minimal number

11:19.010 --> 11:26.400
of sets, minimal number of elements, of that
set, in terms of which, I can express all

11:26.400 --> 11:32.430
the elements of that set, that set it is called
the basis set. Like for electric electrical

11:32.430 --> 11:39.190
signals, Fourier proved, the famous Fourier,
by this Fourier theorem, he proved, that you

11:39.190 --> 11:46.060
can take a exponential basis set, to express
all sorts of electrical signals. That is why,

11:46.060 --> 11:51.880
today we take, either cos or sin sinusoidal
signal, and we analyze that and say, we know

11:51.880 --> 11:55.130
all the signals, because all the signals can
be linearly expressed like that.

11:55.130 --> 12:01.990
So, Fourier took a basis set. There is other
basis set also possible. Now modes, it is

12:01.990 --> 12:08.290
precise definition is, modes are mutually
independent solutions of Maxwell's equation,

12:08.290 --> 12:15.420
such that every possible electromagnetic field
configuration can be expressed as a linear

12:15.420 --> 12:28.480
combination of the modes. So, for our landing
purpose, if I understand the field distribution

12:28.480 --> 12:32.050
in a mode, then I can construct any signal.

12:32.050 --> 12:42.260
So, my model requires that, what will be these
modes field distribution. So, let us come;

12:42.260 --> 12:49.950
obviously, when EM signal is produced, there
needs to be a source, that source may be near

12:49.950 --> 12:56.070
the signal, because electromagnetic signal
propagates as a wave. So, when I am looking

12:56.070 --> 13:03.430
at the signal the source may be near, may
be far away, but to start with one kind of

13:03.430 --> 13:10.930
source is a point source.
Now, point source is actually an ideal source,

13:10.930 --> 13:17.411
like the concept of point in geometry, which
you know, that it is an abstraction. Similarly

13:17.411 --> 13:24.650
ideal point source, it is an ideal source,
it is an abstraction, no real source is a

13:24.650 --> 13:31.730
point source, all distant stars as I showing
in the first slide, that you see so many stars,

13:31.730 --> 13:40.470
but, they appear to be us as a somewhat, not
point something more, but if you are really

13:40.470 --> 13:46.920
far away, then all distance stars appear as
point to our eyes, but if we go closer to

13:46.920 --> 13:55.470
the star, what we see, we see the star, it
is a huge size, there are variety of contours,

13:55.470 --> 14:01.060
there are mountains here, there are rivers
here, there are caves here, craters here,

14:01.060 --> 14:07.700
etcetera, etcetera. So, any far away distributed
source of EM field is considered as a point

14:07.700 --> 14:14.010
source. And if the source is nearby, then
we know, what is it is contour. So, we can

14:14.010 --> 14:18.240
say that, it is summation of all those point
source.

14:18.240 --> 14:26.910
So, any distributed source nearby, we call
it is summation of point source. Now point

14:26.910 --> 14:34.779
source, it radiates equally in all direction.
This point, it does not have any preference

14:34.779 --> 14:41.190
of radiation to any particular direction,
again I am remind you, that no real source

14:41.190 --> 14:47.710
is a point source. Every real source has a
preferred wave of radiating, a preferred direction

14:47.710 --> 14:57.860
in which it radius more than others, but when
we idealize or when we point source we defined

14:57.860 --> 15:00.420
as which radiates equally in all directions.

15:00.420 --> 15:06.870
So, these; that means, that has origin there
is a point source. So, in all possible directions

15:06.870 --> 15:13.240
you are giving a wave can be seen equally
bright in all directions. You have not seen

15:13.240 --> 15:19.910
anything till now, which does like that, but
ideally we can say, because if you observed

15:19.910 --> 15:26.860
a distant star, now in the earth if you move
reasonable distance, suppose in a region etcetera,

15:26.860 --> 15:32.770
you do not think that there is any change
in that; that means, that is, to you to it

15:32.770 --> 15:37.370
is appearing is a point source.
But if you really travel far, then you are

15:37.370 --> 15:41.560
travelling much. So, something, suppose from
northern hemisphere to southern hemisphere,

15:41.560 --> 15:47.300
if you come then you see that, that is changing.
So, we can say that energy is coming equally

15:47.300 --> 15:53.380
in all direction from point source, and people
have found out the solutions for that, if

15:53.380 --> 15:59.430
it has been seen that emits spherical waves
in all directions. So, if you are center of

15:59.430 --> 16:05.089
a sphere, then the energy is equally going
along larger and larger spheres, and coming

16:05.089 --> 16:13.190
to you. At a particular distance from the
source, if we connect all the equal amplitude

16:13.190 --> 16:19.090
and equal phase point that mean whose, any
field electric field or magnetic field is

16:19.090 --> 16:24.450
equal amplitude and equal phase points if
you connect, then the locus become a spherical

16:24.450 --> 16:28.830
surface.
So, it is phase front is call spherical so;

16:28.830 --> 16:34.660
that means, when elect any, any point source
is emits electromagnetic signal, then, at

16:34.660 --> 16:41.410
a particular distance, if we connect all the
equal amplitude and equal phase; that means,

16:41.410 --> 16:47.150
equal signals, where they are then if you
connect that that becomes a spherical surface.

16:47.150 --> 16:56.940
That is why we say, that point source emits,
spherical waves, in all directions. Now at

16:56.940 --> 17:04.709
a large distance from the source, you know
that, sphere, if you go and constructing larger

17:04.709 --> 17:11.890
and larger spheres, now, very large sphere,
at a particular place you will see, that the

17:11.890 --> 17:18.329
spherical surface is almost becoming a planer
surface. So, that is why we are saying that

17:18.329 --> 17:23.360
at a large distance from the source, this
spherical surface becomes appropriately a

17:23.360 --> 17:27.809
plane, then, these waves are called plane
waves.

17:27.809 --> 17:33.940
Now, will see plane waves, and or we have
already seen plane waves in EM theory. Plane

17:33.940 --> 17:40.080
waves means, in that plane, there are electric
field vector, magnetic field vector, they

17:40.080 --> 17:45.639
do not have any variation, there constant
over the plane, that is called uniform plane

17:45.639 --> 17:52.539
wave. First plane wave, that all equal amplitude
and equal phase points, they are plane, and

17:52.539 --> 17:58.000
then if you have uniform plane wave, which
is the variety of plane wave, where they will

17:58.000 --> 18:04.840
have there is no variation in that plane,
of the amplitude, or phase of that thing.

18:04.840 --> 18:14.970
So, that plane waves, you have seen already,
it solution we have seen in thing, it is that,

18:14.970 --> 18:22.110
cos omega t minus k z type of thing e to the
power minus z k z, that thing. So, for plane

18:22.110 --> 18:29.429
waves, you have all also seen that, electric
field vector, magnetic field vector, and direction

18:29.429 --> 18:36.200
of EM energy, propagation of EM energy, direction,
that form a right handed orthogonal triplet,

18:36.200 --> 18:37.730
these you have already seen.

18:37.730 --> 18:46.659
So, for plane waves this is true. Now, we
see the second type of, or another type of

18:46.659 --> 18:52.789
source, instead of point source, suppose we
have all these are abstractions, but it will

18:52.789 --> 18:59.299
help you to understand, what is the source?
And how it radiates? Suppose we have, an infinite

18:59.299 --> 19:07.169
sheet of, surface current source; that means,
a whole plane, where we have, a one directed

19:07.169 --> 19:13.369
surface current, it is call sheet of surface
source. So, here we have taken that, in the

19:13.369 --> 19:21.500
z is equal to 0 plane, the sheet of surface
current source is So, what we have written

19:21.500 --> 19:26.399
that not only point sources, some other sources
also can produce waves whose electric and

19:26.399 --> 19:31.149
magnetic field, field vectors, both are orthogonal
to the wave propagation direction.

19:31.149 --> 19:36.970
So, consider an infinite sheet of conducting
surface, current density, let us call that,

19:36.970 --> 19:42.539
surface current density, J s and consider;
obviously, since we have talking of electromagnetic

19:42.539 --> 19:49.210
field; that means, this is not a DC current,
it is an AC current, that is why I am writing

19:49.210 --> 19:54.799
considered time varying j s, the surface current
density is time varying, it has a time function

19:54.799 --> 20:03.280
it is depend function of t and also for simplicity
I have assumed that it is in the x y plane,

20:03.280 --> 20:10.149
it is x directed. It can lie in any direction,
but we can orient our x y thing. So, that

20:10.149 --> 20:19.100
for a simplicity, it comes x directed thing.
Now, since you see the source, these source,

20:19.100 --> 20:25.010
it is an infinite source, though my drawing
does not represent that, but in x y plane,

20:25.010 --> 20:32.870
it has an infinite variation. Actually there
is an x, here you see, this is x, though I

20:32.870 --> 20:40.450
do not think it has mixed with the contour.
So, in x y plane, it is infinite. So, since

20:40.450 --> 20:45.929
it is infinite and you know that if there
is an electric, there is a conduction current;

20:45.929 --> 20:56.070
that means, in that direction there are the
electric field also. So, it j s is in a x

20:56.070 --> 21:00.470
direction; obviously, the electric field will
also be in the x direction, but since there

21:00.470 --> 21:07.649
is no variation in the whole infinite plane,
in either x or y, please remember that it

21:07.649 --> 21:12.970
may be x directed the current is x directed
electric field is also x directed, but they

21:12.970 --> 21:17.850
do not have any variation, because the whole
source does not have any variation, in the

21:17.850 --> 21:22.779
neither x or y direction.
But if definitely has a variation in the z

21:22.779 --> 21:30.749
direction, because suddenly it is here, just
as z is equal to 0 minus, it is not there

21:30.749 --> 21:36.620
at z is equal to 0 plus it is not there. So,
it has a variation only in the z direction,

21:36.620 --> 21:40.259
but in x or y direction, it does not have
any variation.

21:40.259 --> 21:47.980
So, this type of source, due to the discontinuity
as was saying in the z is equal to 0 plane,

21:47.980 --> 21:53.519
there will be EM waves propagating away, from
the source in plus minus z direction. This,

21:53.519 --> 21:58.870
we will always remember, that if there is
any source has a discontinuity, that it is

21:58.870 --> 22:04.230
suddenly there, and then not there, then it
will radiates. So, it will radiate; obviously,

22:04.230 --> 22:11.340
in plus minus z direction and already we have
discussed that the electric field is x directed

22:11.340 --> 22:19.730
the movement electric, the propagation of
wave or propagation of energy is in z direction.

22:19.730 --> 22:27.249
Now, let us put the, you all know boundary
conditions of electromagnetic fields. So,

22:27.249 --> 22:35.750
boundary condition at z is equal to 0, if
we apply, we know that, what this is saying,

22:35.750 --> 22:43.429
you know n is a normal vector. So, n cross
e 2 minus e 1; that means, what tangential

22:43.429 --> 22:48.739
component should be continuous tangential
component of the electric field should be

22:48.739 --> 22:56.259
continuous, that is the boundary condition
one of electromagnetic field. Similarly, the

22:56.259 --> 23:04.649
tangential component of magnetic field n cross
h 2 minus h 1 that is discontinuous and the

23:04.649 --> 23:09.790
amount of discontinuity is the surface current
density. It is the second boundary condition

23:09.790 --> 23:17.389
of electromagnetic field in our particular
case, n is the outward normal. So, n is positive

23:17.389 --> 23:24.869
a z directed and e 1, h 1, we are calling
it is the electric and magnetic field in region

23:24.869 --> 23:33.190
one, region one we are defining as, z less
than 0; that means, below the current sheet,

23:33.190 --> 23:38.960
and z greater than 0 is above the current
sheet, where the fields are e 2, h 2, that

23:38.960 --> 23:44.950
is why we have written this boundary condition.
Now, to satisfy this boundary condition n

23:44.950 --> 23:57.059
is a z. So, a z cross e 2 minus e 2, we know
that, e 2 minus e 1 will come, then the h

23:57.059 --> 24:06.279
2 minus h 2. So, a z cross these, is equal
to some a x component so; obviously, it says

24:06.279 --> 24:12.179
that, h 2 and h y, they must have y component,
simple mathematics.

24:12.179 --> 24:23.980
So, we can write the fields as E 1 that will
be equal to, in a x directed, and then we

24:23.980 --> 24:33.730
assume some amplitude a, first we assume,
since h 1 is y directed. So, H 1, let us assume,

24:33.730 --> 24:39.020
in the lower one, you see, to satisfy that
equation, lower one it will be minus. So,

24:39.020 --> 24:44.999
minus a y, a is some amplitude, then we know
that the field is propagating in z direction,

24:44.999 --> 24:53.909
means, it is variation will be e to the power
j k naught z, and E 1 and H 1, we know, that

24:53.909 --> 24:59.549
always they are related by the wave impedance,
in free space it is propagating eta naught,

24:59.549 --> 25:04.760
by intrinsic impedance of free space. So,
they, e 1 will be like this.

25:04.760 --> 25:11.299
Similarly, at z greater than 0, we can write
H 2 and E 2m some other constant, b amplitude,

25:11.299 --> 25:20.151
and some other constant, b here. So, a b needs
to be found out. So, to satisfy boundary condition

25:20.151 --> 25:29.470
one, we get a is equal b to satisfy boundary
condition two, you get this. So, solving we

25:29.470 --> 25:35.110
get that a and b, their values we get. So,
by that, we can find out, that there is an

25:35.110 --> 25:41.690
electromagnetic field. So, we see that it
also produces the surface current, infinite

25:41.690 --> 25:47.519
surface current, that produces and electric
field, so that you can have, the propagation

25:47.519 --> 25:50.759
in the plus minus z direction.

25:50.759 --> 25:58.230
Now, so, in this case also, you see that we
have, electric and magnetic field vectors,

25:58.230 --> 26:05.851
both are orthogonal to the wave propagation
direction z. So, you see that, e and h, they

26:05.851 --> 26:11.960
are all lying in x y plane, the wave is going
in z direction, the e and h will does not

26:11.960 --> 26:20.359
have any component in the propagation direction.
This is the first mode that we introduced,

26:20.359 --> 26:30.539
that if and both the electric and magnetic
field, they are lying on the transverse plane;

26:30.539 --> 26:36.859
that means, transverse to the direction of
propagation, then we call that has TEM mode,

26:36.859 --> 26:43.119
or transverse electromagnetic modes, to any
propagation direction, one can draw infinite

26:43.119 --> 26:51.870
number of perpendiculars; that means, if you
have any direction to that, you can draw a

26:51.870 --> 26:55.340
perpendicular, draw perpendicular.

26:55.340 --> 27:01.080
So, all these are perpendiculars, to it, you
can have many, because with these I can have

27:01.080 --> 27:09.090
these as a perpendicular, with that I can
have other perpendiculars also.

27:09.090 --> 27:17.460
So, but all these perpendiculars, they will
lie a plane, that is in this transverse plane,

27:17.460 --> 27:28.280
this plane. So, there any line is perpendicular,
and now electric field vector can lie along

27:28.280 --> 27:33.609
any of these infinite number of perpendiculars.
Now in the transverse plane, we can always

27:33.609 --> 27:39.179
find in a plane we can find always a couple,
another perpendicular, two perpendicular couple

27:39.179 --> 27:44.989
we can always locate. So, along the perpendicular
to the electric plane, we can always locate

27:44.989 --> 27:53.019
another perpendicular, which is a magnetic
field vector. So, these TEM wave is a mode.

27:53.019 --> 28:00.749
In a guided structure, like in normal transmission
line, this mode propagates, in unguided fields;

28:00.749 --> 28:09.619
that means, when we radiate by antennas, then
at a far off distance from the antenna this

28:09.619 --> 28:15.379
is becomes a TEM wave, that we have discussed
that, from that stars, when we are far away,

28:15.379 --> 28:22.039
they becomes plane waves plane waves are an
example of TEM mode but, reverse is not true

28:22.039 --> 28:26.760
apart from plane waves also, there are many
examples of TEM wave field distribution.

28:26.760 --> 28:31.100
So, any antenna is a distribution of point
sources, where at a far off distance from

28:31.100 --> 28:37.210
the antenna the radiated fields show TEM mode
field distribution. This is the TEM mode field

28:37.210 --> 28:42.629
distribution you see, that it is in a coaxial
line we get this type of distribution, here

28:42.629 --> 28:49.129
you see that we have so many all the elec
this only one electric field I am showing,

28:49.129 --> 28:53.799
it is entirely in the x y plane the propagation
is taking place in the z direction.

28:53.799 --> 28:58.440
So, it is the magnitude is changing as you
see from the color plot, but it is changing.

28:58.440 --> 29:05.159
So, you see if we look in the z direction,
this is z direction the in a transverse plane,

29:05.159 --> 29:10.739
there is no z component. So, this is an example
of a TEM field distribution.

29:10.739 --> 29:18.470
Now, let us see an infinite line source. So,
this z directed line source, a, instead of

29:18.470 --> 29:25.610
infinite sheet of current which produces TEM
waves, we are now seeing an infinite line

29:25.610 --> 29:33.220
source. So, the source is a line infinite
line I L, let us call.

29:33.220 --> 29:39.729
Now in the z plane will be the transverse
plane to this. Consider an infinitely long

29:39.729 --> 29:44.909
conducting line current source no magnetic
field can exist along this infinite line source

29:44.909 --> 29:51.379
that is Biot Savart law or Maxwell’s law.
That you, if you have a current source, magnetic

29:51.379 --> 29:56.081
field is always perpendicular to the; that
means, in the along this line source, there

29:56.081 --> 30:00.280
is no magnetic field component. So, where
is the magnetic field vector then, it should

30:00.280 --> 30:06.570
lie along the transverse plane; that means,
that z is equal to 0 plane. So, magnetic field

30:06.570 --> 30:14.570
should lie there, now electric field vector
can be anything, but, you have already seen

30:14.570 --> 30:20.220
TEM case.
So, we say that, they are both the electric

30:20.220 --> 30:25.350
field vector, and magnetic field, field vector
was in the perpendicular plane. Here we say

30:25.350 --> 30:31.009
that since we are trying to see, whether another
mode is possible and another solution of Maxwells

30:31.009 --> 30:36.850
equation, in another independent solution
is possible. So, that is why we are checking

30:36.850 --> 30:41.119
that electric field vector should not be lying
entirely in this plane, because if it lies

30:41.119 --> 30:46.989
entirely in this plane, that is the TEM case.
So, if it is in this plane, we are going back

30:46.989 --> 30:51.409
to the TEM case. So, we have trying to say
another fundamental variety of mode.

30:51.409 --> 30:58.649
So, electric field vector should have a component
in this transverse plane as well as some component

30:58.649 --> 31:06.179
along the line source direction. So, this
mode is called transverse magnetic; that means

31:06.179 --> 31:13.200
magnetic field is entirely in a plane and
if you do the mathematics this line source

31:13.200 --> 31:19.039
gives that TEM mode. It does not give any
TEM mode. The energy is propagating, how energy

31:19.039 --> 31:26.009
is propagating? If you consider that, considering
that line current has an axis, if you consider

31:26.009 --> 31:31.559
a cylinder throughout that cylinder surface,
the energy is propagating. These waves are

31:31.559 --> 31:33.869
called cylindrical waves.

31:33.869 --> 31:40.159
Their field distribution is TEM field distribution,
this is a TEM field distribution, this comes

31:40.159 --> 31:46.200
in, we will see later, in circular type of
guides not coaxial cable; that means; only

31:46.200 --> 31:55.210
one conductor is here. So, in a hollow metallic
pipe, cylindrical pipe, you see electric field

31:55.210 --> 32:01.869
vector, it is like this, also electric field
vector, we are showing in the any between

32:01.869 --> 32:08.269
thing at x is equal 0, it has a longitudinal
component. This is an example of a transverse

32:08.269 --> 32:10.409
magnetic mode.

32:10.409 --> 32:17.979
Now consider another example, that instead
of that line source, let us make a loop, infinite

32:17.979 --> 32:25.919
loop of current, current carrying I. So, consider
an infinite loop.

32:25.919 --> 32:31.210
Obviously, the electric field will be azimuthal,
you see at every point electric field is,

32:31.210 --> 32:35.309
because it should be in the direction of this
conduction current, there is a conduction

32:35.309 --> 32:41.629
current here. So, it is in the e 5 direction,
that is called azimuthal and entirely lying

32:41.629 --> 32:47.190
in the z 0 plane, you see here, e 5, all are
lying in the z is equal to 0 plane.

32:47.190 --> 32:51.720
So, the magnetic field vector should not be
lying entirely in this plane, why, because

32:51.720 --> 32:57.309
then we are going back to the TEM case, again
that same logic. So, magnetic will should

32:57.309 --> 33:04.159
have a component in the transverse plane and
also some component along the z direction.

33:04.159 --> 33:09.200
These waves are called TE Modes their field
distribution is like this. This come, we will

33:09.200 --> 33:11.330
see, in wave guides.

33:11.330 --> 33:18.080
You are familiar with that, that it is a example
of a TE 1 0 mode this type of various modes,

33:18.080 --> 33:22.119
but all of them, they have that you see in
the transverse plane the electric field is

33:22.119 --> 33:30.499
lying, we are seeing in a longitudinal plane,
you see it is basically the wave guide. Between

33:30.499 --> 33:36.059
that, if we can see, will see that field distribution
will like this there is no component which

33:36.059 --> 33:38.429
is in the z direction.

33:38.429 --> 33:46.320
So, electric field is entirely in the transverse
direction, and as I was saying that, with

33:46.320 --> 33:52.730
mixing these type of various modes, you see
three TEM t type of electric field distribution,

33:52.730 --> 33:56.980
if they are mixed, then you get a field distribution
like this.

33:56.980 --> 34:05.190
So, all these various things, but all are
linear combinations of these modes. So, a

34:05.190 --> 34:11.869
particular field may be, suppose when in a
coaxial line, transmission line, you can have

34:11.869 --> 34:17.480
all the modes possible, TEM, TE, TM, all the
them can be possible. In wave guides, you

34:17.480 --> 34:22.360
cannot have TEM and if you see the actual
field distribution, you will see something

34:22.360 --> 34:27.700
haphazard, but if you break it into this components
you will then understand, that how much of

34:27.700 --> 34:35.770
T, how much of TEM, and which type of T also
have various with numbers, this two numbers,

34:35.770 --> 34:40.850
they are giving two dimensional modes. So,
various numbers are possible. So, with that

34:40.850 --> 34:46.330
you get all the real life signals.
So, if you understand modes, you can easily

34:46.330 --> 34:52.100
a break the fields in to these modes, and
then your analysis will precede. So, that

34:52.100 --> 34:57.960
was our first lecture, that what is the concept
of mode. I think I have tried to make you

34:57.960 --> 35:03.060
understand, that there are 3 fundamental modes,
TEM, TE and T0, and where from they come,

35:03.060 --> 35:08.100
have given you examples, that which type of
sources can produce a pure of that variety.

35:08.100 --> 35:14.400
In real life, you have a source which is mixture,
of all these various sources I have shown.

35:14.400 --> 35:20.550
So, with that they produce various types of
TEM, TE, and T0. Now we need a supporting

35:20.550 --> 35:27.090
structure which can carry that. So, that energy
will be coming from transmitted to receiver

35:27.090 --> 35:30.690
that will see, one by one in the next lecture.
Thank you.
