Phasor Relationships for Circuit Elements01:16

Phasor Relationships for Circuit Elements

848
Phasor representation is a powerful tool used to transform the voltage-current relationship for resistors, inductors, and capacitors from the time domain to the frequency domain. This transformation simplifies the analysis of alternating current (AC) circuits.
In the time domain, Ohm's law provides a fundamental relation between the current flowing through a resistor and the voltage across it:

Phasor Arithmetics

Phasors and their corresponding sinusoids are interrelated, offering unique insights into the behavior of alternating current (AC) circuits. One way to understand this relationship is through the operations of differentiation and integration in both the time and phasor domains.
When the derivative of a sinusoid is taken in the time domain, it transforms into its corresponding phasor multiplied by j-omega (jω) in the phasor domain, where j is the imaginary unit, and ω is the angular...

Plane Electromagnetic Waves I

4.7K
The existence of combined electric and magnetic fields that propagate through space as electromagnetic (EM) waves is the most significant prediction of Maxwell's equations. As Maxwell's equations hold in free space, the predicted electromagnetic waves do not require a medium for their propagation. An EM wave comprises an electric field, defined as the force per charge on a stationary charge, and a magnetic field, which is the force per charge on a moving charge.
The EM field is assumed to be a...

Phasors01:12

Phasors

907
Phasors are a powerful mathematical tool used to analyze alternating current (AC) circuits. They provide a complex number representation of sinusoids, with the magnitude of the phasor equating to the amplitude of the sinusoid and the angle of the phasor representing the phase measured from the positive x-axis.
One of the significant benefits of using phasors is that they simplify the analysis of AC circuits by eliminating the time dependence of the current and voltage. This transformation...

Kirchoff's Laws using Phasors

647
Analyzing AC circuits in electrical systems is a fundamental aspect of electrical engineering. In these circuits, AC power is supplied from a distribution panel and wired to various household appliances in parallel. To perform a comprehensive analysis, electrical engineers use Kirchhoff's voltage and current laws, which are equally applicable in AC circuits as in DC circuits.
Kirchhoff's voltage law (KVL) states that the sum of phasor voltages around a closed loop in an AC circuit equals zero....

    Area of Science:

    • Optics and Photonics
    • Computational Imaging
    • Wave Physics

    Background:

    • Non-line-of-sight (NLoS) imaging, or "seeing around corners," is crucial for hidden environment exploration.
    • Phasor-field (P-field) imaging manipulates light envelopes for NLoS imaging, but existing theories are limited by paraxial approximations.
    • The two-frequency spatial Wigner distribution (TFSWD) has been used to handle occlusions and specularities in paraxial NLoS imaging.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a nonparaxial theory for P-field imaging to overcome limitations of previous paraxial models.
    • To extend the TFSWD formalism to nonparaxial regimes for enhanced NLoS imaging capabilities.
    • To provide a comprehensive theoretical framework for advanced NLoS imaging applications.

    Main Methods:

    • Derived a nonparaxial propagation formula for the P-field using the Rayleigh-Sommerfeld diffraction integral.
    • Proposed a Rayleigh-Sommerfeld propagation formula for the TFSWD under specific partial-coherence conditions.
    • Derived differential equations for free-space TFSWD propagation without paraxial restrictions.

    Main Results:

    • Successfully extended P-field imaging theory to nonparaxial scenarios, broadening its applicability.
    • Developed a nonparaxial TFSWD propagation formula, enhancing its utility for complex NLoS environments.
    • Established differential equations for unrestricted free-space TFSWD propagation, offering a fundamental tool.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed nonparaxial theories significantly advance the capabilities of NLoS imaging.
    • These findings pave the way for more robust and versatile "seeing around corners" technologies.
    • The new theoretical framework supports the analysis of complex scattering phenomena in hidden spaces.
