Chap. 8 | Wave impedance (1/2)
Wave impedance of the total field
Z z ( ) ! Total E
x( ) z
Total H
y( ) z ( ) Ω
: Ratio of the total electric field intensity to the total magnetic field intensity
Why do we care about the impedance?
• In Chapter 9 <Theory and Applications of Transmission Lines>
“Transmission line lumped element equivalent circuit”
Transmission line can be modeled as circuit elements Transmission Line:
A passage with a certain geometry and components (μ, ε, σ)
where EM wave travels through
Parallel plate Two-wire Coaxial
Wave impedance vs. intrinsic (characteristic) impedance
• Intrinsic (characteristic) impedance (η or Z0)
- Used for a single wave propagating in an “unbounded” medium - i.e. there is no reflected wave
- equivalent to infinitely long transmission line
• Wave impedance (Z)
- Used for waves propagating across many different media where reflection occurs

θTE: Brewster’s angle of no reflection for TE wave
✴For nonmagnetic media (μ1 = μ2 = μ0)
• Right side of the equation diverges to infinity
• Brewster’s angle for TE wave DOES NOT exist for such case
