History (from google) James Clark Maxwell: (1831-1879) In the 1860s and 1870s, James Clerk Maxwell developed the theory of electric and magnetic forces, summarized in his famous four equations.  These equations encapsulated all that had been discovered about electricity and magnetism in the experiments done over the previous few hundred years by Faraday, Volta, and many others.   They showed that electricity and magnetism were two aspects of the same force.  The equations also predicted that there should be a form of radiation, which came to be known as electromagnetic radiation.   Maxwell realized that light was a form of electromagnetic radiation.   Around 1862 he wrote, "We can scarcely avoid the conclusion that light consists in the transverse undulations of the same medium which is the cause of electric and magnetic phenomena." The equations predicted that electromagnetic radiation could exist with any wavelength.  The various colors of light have wavelengths less than a thousandth of a millimeter.   Much longer wavelengths are possible.   上海海事大学信息工程学院

History (from google) 上海海事大学信息工程学院 Oliver Heaviside (1850-1925) Heaviside and Kennelly, in 1902, predicted that there should be an ionised layer (电离层） in the upper atmosphere that would reflect radio waves. They pointed out that it would be useful for long distance communication, allowing radio signals to travel to distant parts of the earth by bouncing off the underside of this layer. The existence of the layer, now known as the Heaviside layer or the ionosphere, was demonstrated in the 1920s. If radio waves bounce off the inside of the ionosphere, then they must also bounce off the outside. So any radio waves from outside the earth would not get through to the ground -- they would bounce back into space. Thus the predictions by Heaviside, combined with Planck's radiation theory, probably discouraged further attempts to detect radio waves from the Sun and other celestial objects. For whatever reason, there seem to have been no attempts for 30 years, until Jansky's unexpected discovery in 1932. Later it was learned that the reflection from the ionosphere is very dependent on the frequency (or wavelength). It reflects most of the radiation of frequency less than about 20 MHz. But the ionosphere is not a barrier to frequencies above about 50 MHz. Radio astronomy had to wait for the development of high frequency radio receivers. 上海海事大学信息工程学院

History (from google) Guglielmo Marconi (1874-1937) Marconi improved radio transmission and receiver designs and developed the first practical systems for long distance communication by radio. In 1901 he was the first to send and receive signals across an ocean, from Newfoundland to Cornwall. As a result of his pioneering efforts, commercial radiotelephone service became available in later years. In the 1930s the Bell Telephone company was working on improving their transatlantic telephone service when they assigned Karl Jansky to investigate sources of radio static, leading to his discovery of radio waves from the milky way. 上海海事大学信息工程学院

History (from google) Heinrich Hertz (1857-1894) In 1888, Heinrich Hertz built an apparatus that could transmit and receive electromagnetic waves of about 5 meters in length. He used a coil to generate a high voltage spark between two electrodes which served as a transmitter. The detector was a loop of wire with a small gap. A spark at the transmitter produces electromagnetic waves that travel to the detector, producing a spark in the gap. He showed that the waves were polarized, and that they could interfere with each other, just as predicted by theory. 上海海事大学信息工程学院

History (from google) 上海海事大学信息工程学院 Lord Rayleigh John William Strutt, 3rd Baron Rayleigh OM (12 November 1842 – 30 June 1919) was an English physicist who, with William Ramsay, discovered the element argon, an achievement for which he earned the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1904. He also discovered the phenomenon now called Rayleigh scattering, explaining why the sky is blue, and predicted the existence of the surface waves now known as Rayleigh waves. In 1910 Lord Rayleigh discovered that an electrical discharge in nitrogen gas produced "active nitrogen", an allotrope considered to be monatomic. The "whirling cloud of brilliant yellow light" produced by his apparatus reacted with quicksilver to produce explosive mercury nitride. 上海海事大学信息工程学院

Text and notes Before we describe and analyze these types of waves we need to consider why RF/microwaves as a subject has become so important, that it is placed at the forefront of our modern technology. 在讲述这类电波之前，我们需要考虑这样一个问题：为什么射频/微波学科变得如此重要，以至于人们要将其归入现代技术的前沿学科？ 上海海事大学信息工程学院

Text and notes With the invention of the transistor in the 1950s and the advent of microwave integrated circuits in the 1960s, the concept of a microwave system on a chip became a reality. 随着20世纪50年代晶体管的发明和60年代微波集成电路的出现，芯片级微波系统的设想已经变成了事实。 上海海事大学信息工程学院

Text and notes Due to the exact and all-encompassing nature of these laws in predicting electromagnetic phenomena, along with the great body of analytical and experimental investigations performed since then, we can consider the field of RF and microwave engineering a “mature discipline” at this time. 由于麦克斯韦定律可准确预测各种电磁现象，加之后续进行的大量理论分析和实验研究工作，可以说射频/微波工程现在是一门成熟的学科。 上海海事大学信息工程学院

Text and notes The use of Maxwell’s equations at these higher frequencies becomes imperative. 于是，人们迫切需要将麦克斯韦方程应用于这些更高的频段。 上海海事大学信息工程学院

Text and notes The important conclusion to be drawn from this discussion is that Maxwell’s equations present a unified theory of analysis for any system at any frequency, provided we use appropriate simplifications when the wavelengths involved are much larger, comparable to, or much smaller than the circuit dimensions. 从以上讨论中可得如下重要结论：当系统的波长与电路尺寸相比大的多、小的多，或者相比拟时，只要进行适当的简化，麦克斯韦方程就可对任何频率下的任何系统提供统一的分析理论。 上海海事大学信息工程学院

句子翻译练习 Inductive charging (also known as wireless charging) uses an electromagnetic field to transfer energy between two objects through electromagnetic induction. This is usually done with a charging station. Energy is sent through an inductive coupling to an electrical device, which can then use that energy to charge batteries or run the device. Induction chargers use an induction coil to create an alternating electromagnetic field from within a charging base, and a second induction coil in the portable device takes power from the electromagnetic field and converts it back into electric current to charge the battery. The two induction coils in proximity combine to form an electrical transformer. Greater distances between sender and receiver coils can be achieved when the inductive charging system uses resonant inductive coupling. 上海海事大学信息工程学院
