Nov 20, 2023 at 16:21 comment added Cryo Don't forget also that amplitude of the plane wave does not have a length in the physical space. You drew your red/black amplitudes of the size similar to dipole. Well electric field is measured in Volt/meter, whilst antenna size is in meters. You cannot compare them
Nov 20, 2023 at 16:13 comment added Cryo Many plane waves, with many amplitudes and phases go in all directions. I doubt the picture will look nice.
Nov 20, 2023 at 15:28 comment added William Garske That is partly what I am looking for. I am looking for how to compose that plane wave but not with an equation. I'm looking for how to draw it in context of the picture.
Nov 20, 2023 at 15:24 comment added Cryo en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weyl_expansion is the reverse
Nov 20, 2023 at 15:23 comment added Cryo It would seem you want to decompose radiation from a dipole source into a combination of plane waves. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plane-wave_expansion . The link is for a scalar case, but vector-waves can also be handled in a similar fashion. Is this what you are after?
