This course provides in depth coverage of all aspects electromagnetics, with a focus on field and wave generation and propagation. The course will focus on the more practical aspects of E-M theory, with application examples taken from the problems in the textbook as well as from other references. The specific subjects covered will be electromagnetic properties of matter; electromagnetic wave propagation through free-space and along waveguides; transmission line analysis. Students are expected to complete problem-based assignments, and tests on material that will largely follow the course textbook.
This course is an intermediate level treatment of electromagnetic radiation. It provides a general introduction to the important physical concepts and mathematical methods used in treating all types of wave phenomena, but stresses electromagnetic signal propagation and issues of central importance in electrical engineering.
