Course Description
(3-0)
Cr. 3. F. Prereq: E E 311
Review
of static electric and magnetic fields. Maxwell's equations. Circuit concepts
and impedance elements. Propagation and reflection of plane waves in isotropic
media. Guided electromagnetic wave. Characteristics of common waveguides and
transmission lines. Propagation in anisotropic media. Special theorems and
concepts. Radiation and scattering.
Learning Objectives
- Derive
Maxwell equations from integral form to differential form and the boundary
conditions
- Define
the phasor form, calculate Poynting power flow
vector, confirm the energy/power conservation
- Define
polarizations: linear, circular, and ecliptic, find polarization status
for given plane waves
- Apply
approaches for transmission lines to solve wave propagation in
multilayered media
- Find
waves propagating in plasma, uniaxial medium, and metamaterials
- Define
vector and scalar potentials and find them
- Define
the far field condition. Given electric sources such as dipole, loops, and
apertures, find the far field
- Apply
Huygens principle and equivalent sources to find approximated solutions
for simple objects
- Given
dimensions of rectangular and circular waveguides, find the cut-off
frequency, propagation constant, and wave impedance. For cavities, find resonant
frequency.
- Define
the radar cross section (RCS), find the scattering from circular cylinder
and sphere, and high frequency and low frequency limits
