LEARNING OUTCOMES
After successful completion of this course, the student understands the basics of electrostatics, magnetostatics, and dynamic electromagnetic fields.
The student can solve quantitatively problems involving different electromagnetic sources.
The student can explain the link between Maxwell's equations and plane wave propagation in arbitrary media.
The student can explain the connection between plane wave theory and radio wave propagation.
The student can calculate light reflection and transmission in different planar geometries.
The student understands the connection between guided waves and transmission line models.
The student can derive fields and modes inside various waveguides, calculate wave propagation parameters, and compare them to free space propagation.
After the course, the student has a solid ground for further studies in antennas, microwave engineering, quantum mechanics, and other topics related to applied electromagnetics.
