Question: Given a general elliptically polarized wave as per Eq. (93): E s = [E x0 a x + E y0 e j a y ]e

Given a general elliptically polarized wave as per Eq. (93):

Es = [Ex0ax + Ey0eay ]e−jβz

(a) Show, using methods similar to those of Example 11.7, that a linearly polarized wave results when superimposing the given field and a phase-shifted field of the form:

Es = [Ex0ax + Ey0e−jϕay ]e−jβze

where δ is a constant.

(b) Find δ in terms of ϕ such that the resultant wave is linearly polarized along x.
