dc.description.abstract<p> When a beam of electromagnetic radiation, limited by an aperture, undergoes total internal reflection, a sideways displacement of the reflected beam results. This displacement is known as the Goos-Hänchen Shift. </p> <p> In this work the Goos-Hänchen Shift is studied with 3.2 cm microwaves. The observed shifts disagree with three existing theories. For this reason a modified theory is developed in this work. The throey regards the beam from a pyramidal horn antenna as a superposition of a large number of plane waves. The shift is calculated on this basis. Agreement between experiment and theory is good. </p>en_US
