Time Harmonic Signals and Fields

This document provides an overview of time-harmonic signals and fields: - Time-harmonic signals and fields can be represented in both the time domain and frequency domain using phasors. In the frequency domain, the signal is represented by a complex voltage or current that is time-independent. - Properties like time derivatives and time-average power can be calculated using the phasor representation while omitting the time-dependent term. - Time-harmonic electric fields can be represented by a complex electric field vector phasor that depends on position but is time-independent. - Throughout the course on microwave engineering and antennas, signals and fields will be assumed to have a time-harmonic, sinusoidal behavior and analyzed using these
