All transmission line sections shown in Fig. have characteristic impedance $${R_0}\, + \,j0$$. The input impedance $${Z_{in}}$$ equals

The polarization of a wave with electric field vector $$\overrightarrow E = {E_0}\,{e^{j\left( {\omega t - \beta z} \right)}}\left( {\overrightarrow {{a_x}} + \overrightarrow {{a_y}} } \right)$$ is

The time averaged Poynting vector, in W/m², for a wave with $$\vec E = 24{e^{j\left( {\omega t + \beta z} \right)}}{\mkern 1mu} {\overrightarrow a _y}$$ V/m in free space is

A plane wave with $$\overrightarrow E = 10\,{e^{j\left( {\omega t - \beta z} \right)\,}}\,\,{\overrightarrow a _{_y}}$$ is incident normally on a thick plane conductor lying in the $$X - Y$$ plane. Its conductivity is $$6 \times {10^6}\,\,\,S/m\,\,\,$$ and surface impedance is $$5 \times {0^{ - 4}}\,\angle {45^0}\Omega $$. Determine the propagation constant and the skin depth in the conductor.
