AN EXTENSION OF THE LAST WORK OF OLEG A. TRETYAKOV: A NOVEL FORMAT OF THE WAVE EQUATION IN SI UNITS

Abstract

Professor Oleg A. Tretyakov is recognized in the field of radiophysics as the founder of the Evolutionary Approach to Electromagnetics (EAE). His analytical time domain approach which was acknowledged as an alternative to the method of complex amplitudes successfully applied to cavity and waveguide problems. In his final years, he proposed a novel format of Maxwell’s equations in SI units where electric and magnetic field strength vectors have a common physical dimension of inverse meter. In this article, we pay special tribute to his exceptional career and contributions to science and extend his last work to derive a novel format of the wave equation in SI units.
