Course Objectives The main objective of this course is to introduce the fundamental concepts of electromagnetic waves with strong emphasis on engineering electromagnetics. The course begins with an introduction of electromagnetic phenomena in modern applications, including wireless and optical communications, circuits, computer interconnects and peripherals, microwave communications and radar, antennas, sensors, microelectromechanical systems, and power generation and transmission. Fundamentals include quasi static and dynamic solutions to Maxwell’s equations; Uniform plane waves. Plane waves in lossless and lossy media. Skin effect. Flow of electromagnetic power. Poynting’s theorem. Reflection and refraction of waves at planar boundaries. Snell’s law and total internal reflection. Reflection and refraction from lossy media. Guided waves. Parallel Plate and dielectric slab waveguides. Hollow waveguides, cavity resonators, microstrip waveguides, optical fibers. Interaction of fields with matter and particles. Antennas and radiation.
