In this chapter, we will examine the formulation and solution of electromagnetic radiation problems, in which a given source exists in infinite space and we want to find the resultant field. The results of this chapter will be used in the next two chapters to formulate and solve the problem of scattering from various objects.
Consider the simple example of a static point charge of q coulombs in an unbounded homogeneous medium (Figure 4.1). The charge density of such a point charge can be written as
