The Retarded Potentials 665 Then (5) tells us that any curl-free vector can be written as the gradient of a scalar so that (9) becomes E+- aA = -VV (10) at where we introduce the negative sign on the right-hand side so that V becomes the electric potential in a static situation when A is independent of time. We solve (10) for the electric field and with (8) rewrite (2) for linear dielectric media (D = eE, B = H): Vx(VxA)= p•Jt+ 1 vaV a, aA1 at- c= 1 1-V - (11) The vector identity of (7) allows us to reduce (11) to S 1 Vi 1 a2A V V2 cA+-• 2jC2-- at2--- t (12) Thus far, we have only specified the curl of A in (8). The Helmholtz theorem discussed in Section 5-4-1 told us that to uniquely specify the vector potential we must also specify the divergence of A. This is called setting the gauge. Examining (12) we see that if we set 1 av 1A= c at V A (13) the middle term on the left-hand side of (12) becomes zero so that the resulting relation between A and J, is the nonhomogeneous vector wave equation: V2A 2 A= -Jrf c (14) The condition of (13) is called the Lorentz gauge. Note that for static conditions, V A = 0, which is the value also picked in Section 5-4-2 for the magneto-quasi-static field. With (14) we can solve for A when the current distribution J1 is given and then use (13) to solve for V. The scalar potential can also be found directly by using (10) in Gauss's law of (4) as VV+ a(VA) = -P E at (15) The second term can be put in terms of V by using the Lorentz gauge condition of (13) to yield the scalar wave equation: - 1 2 V aa C at -p_ (16) ( 666 Radiation -Note again that for static situations this relation reduces to Poisson's equation, the governing equation for the quasi-static electric potential. 9-1-2 Solutions to the Wave Equation We see that the three scalar equations of (14) (one equation for each vector component) and that of (16) are in the same form. If we can thus find the general solution to any one of these equations, we know the general solution to all of them. As we had earlier proceeded for quasi-static fields, we will find the solution to (16) for a point charge source. Then the solution for any charge distribution is obtained using superposition by integrating the solution for a point charge over all incremental charge elements. In particular, consider a stationary point charge at r = 0 that is an arbitrary function of time Q(t). By symmetry, the resulting potential can only be a function of r so that (16) becomes 1 a2V I9 1 - r y= 0, 4r - -- r>O (17) where the right-hand side is zero because the charge density is zero everywhere except at r=O. By multiplying (17) through by r and realizing that I a a' r ,aV =--- (r V r ) (18) we rewrite (17) as a homogeneous wave equation in the variable (rV):. a' I a' 0 ar (rV)- -;P c at (rV)= (19) which we know from Section 7-3-2 has solutions rV=f(t- 1+f) _) (20) We throw out the negatively traveling wave solution as there are no sources for r >0 so that all waves emanate radially outward from the point charge at r =0. The arbitrary function f+. is evaluated by realizing that as r - 0 there can be no propagation delay effects so that the potential should approach the quasi-static Coulomb potential of a point charge: lim V= Q(Q) Q( f+(t ) r-.o 4irer 41s (2t1 (21) Radiationfrom Point Dipoles 667 The potential due to a point charge is then obtained from (20) and (21) replacing time t with the retarded time t- rlc: V(r, t) = Q(t - r/c) 4rer (22) The potential at time t depends not on the present value of charge but on the charge value a propagation time r/c earlier when the wave now received was launched. The potential due to an arbitrary volume distribution of charge pf(t) is obtained by replacing Q(t) with the differential charge element p1 (t) dV and integrating over the volume of charge: V(r, t)= chare pf(t ( t -- rqplc) rc) dV (23) where rQp is the distance between the charge as a source at point Q and the field point at P. The vector potential in (14) is in the same direction as the current density Jf.The solution for A can be directly obtained from (23) realizing that each component of A obeys the same equation as (16) if we replace pIle by l&J 1: A(r, t) = 9-2 9-2-1 V 41rQp faIl current (24) RADIATION FROM POINT DIPOLES The Electric Dipole The simplest building block for a transmitting antenna is that of a uniform current flowing along a conductor of incremental length dl as shown in Figure 9-1. We assume that this current varies sinusoidally with time as i(t)=Re (fe j ) (1) Because the current is discontinuous at the ends, charge must be deposited there being of opposite sign at each end [q(t)= Re (Q e•)]: i(t)= • I= dt ijoC), zdq= ±-dl 2 (2) This forms an electric dipole with moment p= q dl i, (3) If we can find the potentials and fields from this simple element, the solution for any current distribution is easily found by superposition. 668 Radiation 'P 2 A p A =Qd~i, Figure 9-1 A point dipole antenna is composed of a very short uniformly distributed current-carrying wire. Because the current is discontinuous at the ends, equal magnitude but opposite polarity charges accumulate there forming an electric dipole. By symmetry, the vector potential cannot depend on the angle 4, s A,= Re [Az(r, 0)e ] (4) and must be in the same direction as the current: A,(r,t)= Re d -d/U2 feR 4/2 4 dz] (5) WQP Because the dipole is of infinitesimal length, the distance from the dipole to any field point is just the spherical radial distance r and is constant for all points on the short wire. Then the integral in (5) reduces to a pure multiplication to yield =I e-r', k Az(r, t)= Re [A.(r) e"" ] (6) 47rr where we again introduce the wavenumber k = o/c and neglect writing the sinusoidal time dependence present in all field and source quantities. The spherical components of A, 669 Radiation from Point Dipoles are (i,= i,cos 0 - iesin 0): A,=Az cos 0, A = -A,sin 0, A,=0 (7) Once the vector potential is known, the electric and magnetic fields are most easily found from I = -vx d H(r, t) = Re [A(r, 0)e "] A, (8) E= -Vx jWoE E(r, t)= Re [i(r, 8) e"'] Ih, Before we find these fields, let's examine an alternate approach. 9-2-2 Alternate Derivation Using the Scalar Potential It was easiest to find the vector potential for the point electric dipole because the integration in (5) reduced to a simple multiplication. The scalar potential is due solely to the opposite point charges at each end of the dipole, e-kr÷ e -jkr e_ 4eirE r, r) where r+ and r_ are the distances from the respective dipole charges to any field point, as shown in Figure 9-1. Just as we found for the quasi-static electric dipole in Section 3-1-1, we cannot let r+ and r_ equal r as a zero potential would result. As we showed in Section 3-1-1, a first-order correction must be made, where dl rT+r--2cos0 (10) r_- r+- cos 80 2 so that (9) becomes ) 4=r e A~o 4ner ejh(dl/2)cos dl 2 rcos -jk(dl/2)cos 0 -(11) _/ dl_ - ) (11) 2rCs Because the dipole length dl is assumed much smaller than the field distance r and the wavelength, the phase factors in the exponentials are small so they and the I/r dependence in the denominators can be expanded in a first-order Taylor 670 Radiation series to result in: lim 41er krdK e-' R I+.k+Idcos c- )(1+-c•os 2 2r dd
1) so that the potential only dies off as 1/r rather than the quasi-static l/r2 . Using the relationships Q= I/jw (12) could have been obtained immediately and c = l/vj, from (6) and (7) with the Lorentz gauge condition of Eq.

The magnetic field in (14) points purely in the k direction as expected by the right-hand 2 rule for a z-directed current. The term that varies as 1/r is called the induction field or near field for it predominates at distances close to the dipole and exists even at zero frequency. The new term, which varies as 1/r, is called the radiation field since it dominates at distances far from the dipole and will be shown to be responsible for time-average power flow away from the source. The near field term does not contribute to power flow but is due to the stored energy in the magnetic field and thus results in reactive power. 3 The 1/r terms in (15) are just the electric dipole field terms present even at zero frequency and so are often called the electrostatic solution. They predominate at distances close to the dipole and thus are the near fields. The electric field also has an intermediate field that varies as l/r 2 , but more important is the radiation field term in the i 0 component, which varies as I/r. At large distances (kr>> ) this term dominates. In the far field limit (kr >> 1), the electric and magnetic fields are related to each other in the same way as for plane waves: limr E = r>>1 =HEsin Oe E jkr k, Eo=0 Id~2 4r E (16) The electric and magnetic fields are perpendicular and their ratio is equal to the wave impedance 71= V/-LIE. This is because in the far field limit the spherical wavefronts approximate a plane. 9-2-4 Electric Field Lines Outside the dipole the volume charge density is zero, which allows us to define an electric vector potential C: V-E=O E=VxC 672 Radiation Because the electric field in (15) only has r and 0 components, C must only have a 4 component, Co(r, 0): E= Vx C= 1 I-(sin a OC )i - , r sin 0 8 1a -(rCO)ie (18) r ar We follow the same procedure developed in Section 4-4-3b, where the electric field lines are given by dr E, rdB E, ( -(sin 80 OC ) (19) a sin 0•(rCO) which can be rewritten as an exact differential, a(r sin Cs) dr+ ar 80 (r sin BC,) dO = 0 d(r sin OC,)= 0 (20) so that the field lines are just lines of constant stream-function r sin OC,.

Only the far fields contributed to the time-average power flow. The near and intermediate fields contributed only imaginary terms in (28) representing reactive power. The power density varies with the angle 0, being zero along the electric dipole's axis (0 = 0, rr) and maximum at right angles to it (0= =r/2), illustrated by the radiation power pattern in Fig. 9-3. The strength of the power density is proportional to the length of the vector from the origin t, the _I _ _ _
