The
Transverse Electromagnetic Wave. A TEM Step. |
|
Traditionally. when a TEM step (i.e. logic
transition from low to high) ( Figures 3, 4, 5 from Electromagnetism 1
) travels through a vacuum from left to right, guided by two conductors (the
signal line and the 0v line), there are four factors which make up the wave;
- electric current in the conductors i
- magnetic field, or flux, surrounding the conductors B
- electric charge on the surface of the conductors +q
, -q
- electric field, or flux, in the vacuum terminating on the charge (Figure 2), D
