Abstract: This chapter focuses on a simple and very useful type of wave: the uniform plane wave. Uniform plane waves not only serve as a building block in the study of electromagnetic waves but also support the study of wave propagation on transmission lines and wave radiation by antennas. The chapter provides the solution to the wave equations when the fields were arbitrary functions of time. Of particular interest are the sinusoidal variations of the fields. The chapter then discusses electromagnetic wave shielding. In order to derive the equations describing this phenomenon one needs to understand the reflection and transmission of electromagnetic waves at the boundaries of two media. Metallic shields are often employed in electronic products in order to decrease the radiated emissions or to increase the radiated immunity. The shielding effect can be described using the theory of electromagnetic wave propagation.
