\generatetitle{Far field electric field for two horizontal dipole configurations}

\section{Horizontal dipole reflection coefficient}
\index{horizontal dipole}

Suppose an infinitesimal horizontal dipole is in a ``coming out of the page'' configuration. With the page representing the z-y plane, this is a magnetic vector potential directed along the x-axis direction, as follows

\begin{equation}\label{eqn:t:640}
\BA = \xcap \frac{\mu_0 I_0 l}{4 \pi r} e^{-j k r}.
%= \frac{A_r}{4 \pi r} e^{-j k r}
\end{equation}

We've seen in class (UofT ece1229, taught by Prof. Eleftheriades) that the far-field electric field given by

\begin{dmath}\label{eqn:t:n}
\BE = j \omega \Proj_\T \BA,
\end{dmath}

where \( \Proj_\T \BA \) represents the transverse projection of \( \BA \). So, for a wave vector directed in the z-y plane, \( \kcap = \zcap \cos\theta + \ycap \sin\theta \), the electric far field is directed along

\begin{dmath}\label{eqn:t:660}
%\lr{ \xcap \wedge \kcap } \cdot \kcap
%=
\xcap - \lr{ \xcap \cdot \kcap } \kcap
=
\xcap - \lr{ \cancel{\xcap \cdot
\lr{ \zcap \cos\theta + \ycap \sin\theta }
} } \kcap
= \xcap.
\end{dmath}

For such a ray, the electric far field lies completely in the plane of reflection. From \citep{hecht1998hecht} (\eqntext 4.34), the Fresnel reflection coefficients is
\index{Fresnel equations}

\begin{dmath}\label{eqn:t:680}
R =
\frac{
n_i \cos\theta_i - n_t \cos\theta_t
}
{
n_i \cos\theta_i + n_t \cos\theta_t
},
\end{dmath}

which approaches \( -1 \) in the no-transmission limit where \( v_t \rightarrow 0 \), and \( n_t = c/v_t \rightarrow \infty \).

\paragraph{Azimuthal angle dependency of the reflection coefficient}

Now consider a horizontal dipole directed along the y-axis. For the same wave vector direction as above, the electric far field is now directed along

\begin{dmath}\label{eqn:t:700}
\ycap - \lr{ \ycap \cdot \kcap } \kcap
=
\ycap - \lr{ \ycap \cdot \lr{
\zcap \cos\theta + \ycap \sin\theta
} } \kcap
=
\ycap - \kcap \sin\theta
=
\ycap - \sin\theta \lr{
\zcap \cos\theta + \ycap \sin\theta
}
=
\ycap \cos^2 \theta - \sin\theta \cos\theta \zcap
= \cos\theta \lr{ \ycap \cos\theta - \sin\theta \zcap }.
\end{dmath}

That is

\begin{dmath}\label{eqn:t:720}
\BE =
-j \omega \frac{\mu_0 I_0 l}{4 \pi r} e^{-j k r}
\cos\theta \lr{ \ycap \cos\theta - \sin\theta \zcap }.
\end{dmath}

This far field electric field lies in the plane of incidence (a direction of \( \thetacap \) rotated by \( \pi/2 \)), not in the plane of reflection. The corresponding magnetic field should be directed along the plane of reflection, which is easily confirmed by calculation

\begin{dmath}\label{eqn:t:740}
\kcap \cross
\lr{ \ycap \cos\theta - \sin\theta \zcap }
=
\lr{ \zcap \cos\theta + \ycap \sin\theta } \cross
\lr{ \ycap \cos\theta - \sin\theta \zcap }
=
-\xcap \cos^2 \theta - \xcap \sin^2\theta
= -\xcap.
\end{dmath}

The far field magnetic field is seen to be

\begin{dmath}\label{eqn:t:721}
\BH =
j \omega \frac{I_0 l}{4 \pi r} e^{-j k r}
\cos\theta \xcap.
\end{dmath}

Referring again to \citep{hecht1998hecht} (\eqntext 4.40) for the coefficient of reflection coefficient for this polarization

\begin{dmath}\label{eqn:t:620}
R
=
\frac{
n_t \cos\theta_i - n_i \cos\theta_t
}
{
n_i \cos\theta_i + n_t \cos\theta_t
},
\end{dmath}

In the no-transmission limit, this tends to \( 1 \), and would be the value required to calculation the superposition associated with the ground reflection.

For a more general azimuthal orientation of the horizontal dipole, I'd guess (but have not calculated), there would be components of the both the electric and magnetic far-field rays that lie in the reflection plane, so both reflection coefficients would be required in proportion to the components in question.
