I find that there are many anomalies in RF theory. For example, Maxwells
Equations show reflection at a boundary where current flows in the metal surface down to the skin depth. Books then state that this boundary condition applies to waves guided by two wires. The wires therefore sort of reflect the wave and guide it. Power flows as the Poynting vector. Current can be a flow of electrons or holes. If the current in a P type semiconductor is holes, it is a flow of emptiness or nothing. Current is normally said to be the flow of electrons. The electrons actually move very slowly with a drift velocity of a few mm per second. The signal part of the current that flows near speed of light is the electromagnetic wave that flows in the area outside the conductor. There seem to be a number of disputes in RF e.g. about the effectiveness of conjugate matching with Walter Maxwell refuting articles in his book "Reflections". RF seems to be a black art e.g. when it comes to S parameters, network analysers, phase matching and batch matching of cables. Little seems to be written down. |
