EE325 provides an introduction to electromagnetic theory and principles. Electromagnetics, or "field theory" provides the fundamental basis for much of electrical engineering. Direct engineering applications of electromagnetics include antennas, radio wave propagation, radar sensors, microwave and RF circuitry. In addition, electromagnetics has close ties to communication systems, opto- and solid state electronics, circuit design and power systems.
In EE235K, we shall examine the fundamental solutions of time-varying Maxwell's equations and apply them to design antennas and understand radio wave propagation phenomena in modern communication and radar systems. Two major topics will be covered: 1) fundamentals of electromagnetic radiation with application to antenna theory and design, 2) electromagnetic wave propagation, scattering and diffraction, with application to understanding wireless propagation channels.
This is an introductory graduate course in electromagnetic field theory. We shall examine the fundamental solutions of time-varying Maxwell's equations in problems involving wave propagation, radiation and guidance.
The objective of this course is to build up fundamental knowledge of electromagnetic principles and antenna analysis methods and to examine various antennas and to gain an in-depth understanding of an antenna-related topic through a term project.
The purpose of this course is to build up a thorough understanding of radar principles from the fundamental aspects of electromagnetics and signal processing and to gain in-depth knowledge of a radar-related topic through a student defined term project.
