A0.5 MHz antenna carried by an airplane flying over the ocean surface generates a wave that approaches the water surface in the forme
a normally incident plane wave with an electric-field amplitude of 5500 V/m. Seawater is characterized by a dielectric constant of 72,
relative permeabity of 1 and conductivity of 4 Slm. The plane is trying to communicate a message to a submarine submerged at a depth d
below the water surface.
If the submarine's receiver requires a minimum signal ampitude of 0.03 u Vim), what is the maximum depth d to which successful
communication is still possible?
Answer
Two identical short dipole antennas are driven in phase with each other with equal strength and
emit readiation at a wavelength of = 0.1 meters.
One antenna is oriented in the y-direction and is located at (x,y,z) = (0,0,0). The other antenna
is oriented in the z-direction and is located at (x,y,z) = (d,0,0) where d > 0.
What is the smallest value of d for which the radiated far-field at a point (x.y,z) = (X, ,0, 0), x,>>
d, and A, is circularly polarized?
What happens to the polarization if d is now doubled?
Radio waves and microwaves are used in therapy to provide “deep heating” of tissue because the waves penetrate beneath the surface of the body and deposit energy. We define the penetration depth as the depth at which the wave intensity has decreased to 37% of its value at the surface. The penetration depth is 15 cm for 27 MHz radio waves. For radio frequencies such as this, the penetration depth is proportional to √λ, the square root of the wavelength.
For 27 MHz radio waves, the wave intensity has been reduced by a factor of 3 at a depth of approximately 15 cm. At this point in the tissue, the electric field amplitude has decreased by a factor ofA. 9 B. 3√3 C. 3 D. √3
