Step 1: Introduction to Uniform Plane Waves in Free Space

Uniform plane waves are electromagnetic oscillations that maintain consistent characteristics across planes perpendicular to their direction of propagation. In free space, they travel at the speed of light, c almost equal to 3 cross times 1 0 to the power of 8 text   end text text m/s end text, and have an intrinsic impedance of roughly . Such waves are fundamental in many wireless communications, including the 2.45 GHz frequency.
