The document discusses the oblique incidence of plane waves at a dielectric interface, focusing on two cases of polarization: parallel and perpendicular. It provides calculations for skin depth, propagation constant, intrinsic impedance, reflection coefficient, and transmission coefficient for copper. The method of solution involves matching boundary conditions to derive expressions for incident, reflected, and transmitted fields in each dielectric region.

8 Oblique Incidence at a Dielectric Interface 35

For copper, σ = 5.813 × 107 S/m, so from (1.60) the skin depth is

and the propagation constant is, from (1.113),

which is quite small relative to the impedance of free-space (η0 = 377 ). The
reflection coefficient is, from (1.105a),

1.8 OBLIQUE INCIDENCE AT A DIELECTRIC INTERFACE


We continue our discussion of plane waves by considering the problem of a plane wave
obliquely incident on a plane interface between two lossless dielectric regions, as shown in
Figure 1.13. There are two canonical cases of this problem: the electric field is either in the
x z plane (parallel polarization) or normal to the x z plane (perpendicular polarization). An
arbitrary incident plane wave, of course, may have a polarization that is neither of these,
but it can be expressed as a linear combination of these two individual cases.
The general method of solution is similar to the problem of normal incidence: we will
write expressions for the incident, reflected, and transmitted fields in each region and match
boundary conditions to find the unknown amplitude coefficients and angles.
