Course Objectives
The study of electromagnetics is fundamental to the advancement of electrical and computer engineering technology. Electromagnetics is indeed everywhere, and affects all aspects of our lives. Students who well understand the basis of electromagnetic phenomena are well-equipped to handle important problems in electrical and computer engineering, as well as, to gain physical intuition about electromagnetic concepts around themselves. The main goal of this course is to introduce the basic principles of the electromagnetic phenomena in terms of a few relatively simple laws.
Course Content
Maxwell`s Equations in time and frequency domains. Electromagnetic energy and power. Wave equation. Uniform plane electromagnetic waves, reflection and refraction. Introduction to transmission lines, waveguides, antennas and radiation.
Course Learning Outcomes
Having successfully completed this course, the student will be able to:
1) Formulate, analyze and interpret Maxwell’s equations in time and frequency domains, scalar and vector potentials, boundary conditions, wave equations, wave propagation, time-harmonic fields.
2) Formulate, analyze and interpret uniform plane waves (plane waves in lossless or lossy medium, polarization, reflection and refraction).
3) Formulate, analyze and interpret the flow of electromagnetic power and Poynting’s theorem.
4) Formulate, analyze and interpret transmission lines.
5) Formulate, analyze and interpret waveguides.
