Course Description
|
This course covers the fundamentals of electromagnetic waves by emphasizing physical understanding and applications in Electrical and Electronics Engineering systems. It deals with the study of Maxwell’s equations, time-harmonic fields, uniform plane waves, polarization, standing waves, Smith chart, impedance matching, normal and oblique incidence, retarded potentials, antenna radiation characteristics.
Main topics covered include: Maxwell's Equations for Time-Varying Fields, Plane-Wave Propagation, Transmission Lines, Wave Reflection and Transmission, Radiation and Antennas.

|
Course Objectives
|
The aim of the course is to study the electromagnetic waves essentially in three subsections as Maxwell's Equations, Plane-Wave Propagation, Wave Reflection/Transmission and also to make a basis for antenna and microwave theory for the undergraduate students of Electrical & Electronics Engineering. Therefore, its objective is to provide the essential principles of electromagnetic waves to the electrical and electronics engineering majors. The objectives are as follows in detail:
• An introduction to the general field of electromagnetism.
• An understanding of basic electromagnetic concepts and parameters necessary for the analysis and design of electromagnetic systems.
• Mathematical and scientific skills relevant to electromagnetic systems.
• Basic analysis techniques needed when formulating and solving electromagnetic problems.
• A broad outlook and appreciation of the contribution of electromagnetics to the fields of electrical and electronics engineering.
• The technical foundation required for antenna theory, microwave theory and more advanced future courses in applied electromagnetics engineering..

Homework & Projects
|
• Assignments are chosen from your textbook and can be found below the title “Review Questions” in each chapter.
• Homework will be assigned each week and will be due the following week. For example; Homework-1 is assigned in week-1 and will be submitted in week-2 before the lecture in which Solution-1 is provided.
• All homework assignments must be submitted as hardcopies, and they should be turned in at the beginning of lecture on the due date.
• Late homework will not be accepted.
• Each assignment will be worth 100 points.
• You are only allowed to do the homework alone.
• You will have a quiz in each week.
• During quizzes, you may use your own notes, but nothing else is allowed—i.e., no books, no collaboration, no laptops, no mobile phones etc.
