Grosvenor National Institute of Standards and Technology, Electromagnetics Division, MS 818.01, Boulder, CO e-mail:[email protected] Abstract The goal of this report is to provide a comprehensive guide for researchers in the area of measurements of lossy dielectric and magnetic materials with the intent of assembhng the relevant information needed to perform and interpret dielectric measurements on lossy ma- terials in one place. The report should aid in the selection of the most relevant methods for particular applications. We emphasize the metrology aspects of the measurement of lossy dielectrics and the associated uncertainty analysis. We present measurement methods, algo- rithms, and procedures for measuring both commonly used dielectric and magnetic materials, and in addition we present the fundamentals for measuring negative-index materials. Key Words: CaUbration; coaxial line; loss factor; metamaterials; microwave measurements; NIM; permeabihty; permittivity; uncertainty; waveguide. 1. Introduction Many materials used in electromagnetic applications are lossy. The accurate measurement of lossy dielectric materials is challenging since many resonant techniques lose sensitivity when applied to such materials and transmission-line methods are strongly influenced by metal losses. Our goal is to assemble the relevant information needed to perform and interpret dielectric measurements on lossy materials in a single report. Therefore we include sections on the underlying electromagnetics, circuit theory, related physics, measurement algorithms, and uncertainty analysis. We also have included a section on dielectric measurement data we have collected on a wide selection of lossy materials, including building materials, hquids, and substrates. This report should aid in the selection of the most relevant methods for particular applications. With emphasis on metrology, we will introduce the relevant electromagnetic quantities, overview a suite of measurements and methods, develop the relevant equations from first principles, and finally include the uncertainties in the measurement processes. There is a continual demand for accurate measurements of the dielectric and magnetic properties of lossy solids and liquids [1]. T5rpical applications range from dielectric measure- ments of biological tissues for cancer research, building materials, negative index materials, electromagnetic shielding, to propagation of wireless signals. In this report, the term loss will refer to materials with loss tangents greater than approximately 0.05. Measurements without well-characterized uncertainties are of dubious value. Variations in the repeatability of the measurement are not sufficient to characterize the total uncertainty in the measmement. Therefore, in this report, we pay particular attention to uncertainty analysis. Over the years, there has been an abundance of methods developed for measuring elec- tromagnetic permeability and permittivity. These techniques include free-space methods, open-ended coaxial-probe techniques, cavity resonators, dielectric-resonator techniques, and transmission-Une techniques.

Abstract: The suppression of unnecessary radio-electronic noise and the protection of electronic devices from electromagnetic interference by the use of pliable highly microwave radiation absorbing composite materials based on polymers or rubbers filled with conductive and magnetic fillers have been proposed. Since the working frequency bands of electronic devices and systems are rapidly expanding up to the millimeter wave range, the capabilities of absorbing and shielding composites should be evaluated for increasing operating frequency. The point is that the absorption capacity of conductive and magnetic fillers essentially decreases as the frequency increases. Therefore, this Citation: Prokopchuk, A.; Zozulia, I.; paper is devoted to the absorbing capabilities of composites filled with high-loss dielectric fillers, in Didenko, Y.; Tatarchuk, D.; Heuer, H.; which absorption significantly increases as frequency rises, and it is possible to achieve the maximum Poplavko, Y.

  • Electromagnetism As Quantum Physics
    Electromagnetism as Quantum Physics Charles T. Sebens California Institute of Technology May 29, 2019 arXiv v.3 The published version of this paper appears in Foundations of Physics, 49(4) (2019), 365-389. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10701-019-00253-3 Abstract One can interpret the Dirac equation either as giving the dynamics for a classical field or a quantum wave function. Here I examine whether Maxwell's equations, which are standardly interpreted as giving the dynamics for the classical electromagnetic field, can alternatively be interpreted as giving the dynamics for the photon's quantum wave function. I explain why this quantum interpretation would only be viable if the electromagnetic field were sufficiently weak, then motivate a particular approach to introducing a wave function for the photon (following Good, 1957). This wave function ultimately turns out to be unsatisfactory because the probabilities derived from it do not always transform properly under Lorentz transformations. The fact that such a quantum interpretation of Maxwell's equations is unsatisfactory suggests that the electromagnetic field is more fundamental than the photon.

It held within it the seeds of special relativity. Einstein discovered the special theory of relativity by studying the laws of electromagnetism, laws which were already relativistic.1 There are hints that electromagnetism may also have held within it the seeds of quantum mechanics, though quantum mechanics was not discovered by cultivating those seeds.

    Electromagnetic fields and charges in ‘3+1’ spacetime derived from symmetry in ‘3+3’ spacetime J.E.Carroll Dept. of Engineering, University of Cambridge, CB2 1PZ E-mail: [email protected] PACS 11.10.Kk Field theories in dimensions other than 4 03.50.De Classical electromagnetism, Maxwell equations 41.20Jb Electromagnetic wave propagation 14.80.Hv Magnetic monopoles 14.70.Bh Photons 11.30.Rd Chiral Symmetries Abstract: Maxwell’s classic equations with fields, potentials, positive and negative charges in ‘3+1’ spacetime are derived solely from the symmetry that is required by the Geometric Algebra of a ‘3+3’ spacetime. The observed direction of time is augmented by two additional orthogonal temporal dimensions forming a complex plane where i is the bi-vector determining this plane. Variations in the ‘transverse’ time determine a zero rest mass. Real fields and sources arise from averaging over a contour in transverse time. Positive and negative charges are linked with poles and zeros generating traditional plane waves with ‘right-handed’ E, B, with a direction of propagation k. Conjugation and space-reversal give ‘left-handed’ plane waves without any net change in the chirality of ‘3+3’ spacetime. Resonant wave-packets of left- and right- handed waves can be formed with eigen frequencies equal to the characteristic frequencies (N+½)fO that are observed for photons. 1 1. Introduction There are many and varied starting points for derivations of Maxwell’s equations. For example Kobe uses the gauge invariance of the Schrödinger equation [1] while Feynman, as reported by Dyson, starts with Newton’s classical laws along with quantum non- commutation rules of position and momentum [2].

This last expression brings up a dilemma regarding the choice for the sign of R. With our present choice, the sectional curvature, K(x, y), is given by K(x, y)=R(x, y, y, x)but many authors define K as K(x, y)=R(x, y, x, y). Since R(x, y)isskew-symmetricinx, y, the latter choice corresponds to using R(x, y)insteadofR(x, y), that is, to define R(X, Y ) by − R(X, Y )= + .

  • Displacement Current and Ampère's Circuital Law Ivan S
    ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING Displacement current and Ampère's circuital law Ivan S. Bozev, Radoslav B. Borisov The existing literature about displacement current, although it is clearly defined, there are not enough publications clarifying its nature. Usually it is assumed that the electrical current is three types: conduction current, convection current and displacement current. In the first two cases we have directed movement of electrical charges, while in the third case we have time varying electric field. Most often for the displacement current is talking in capacitors. Taking account that charge carriers (electrons and charged particles occupy the negligible space in the surrounding them space, they can be regarded only as exciters of the displacement current that current fills all space and is superposition of the currents of the individual moving charges. For this purpose in the article analyzes the current configuration of lines in space around a moving charge. An analysis of the relationship between the excited magnetic field around the charge and the displacement current is made. It is shown excited magnetic flux density and excited the displacement current are linked by Ampere’s circuital law. ъ а аа я аъ а ъя (Ива . Бв, аав Б. Бв.)

The amount of research on this MTMs area has grown extremely quickly in this time. MTM structure are able to sustain strong sub-wavelength electromagnetic resonance and thus potentially applicable for component miniaturization. Miniaturization, optimization of device performance through elimination of spurious frequencies, and possibility to control filter bandwidth over wide margins are challenges of present and future communication devices. This thesis is focused on the study of both interesting subject (MTMs and miniaturization) which is new miniaturization strategies for MTMs component. Since, the dielectric resonators (DR) are new type of MTMs distinguished by small dissipative losses as well as convenient conjugation with external structures; they are suitable choice for development process.
