Description

INACTIVE - This module is designed to develop the student's knowledge and understanding of electromagnetic fields and electromagnetic wave propagation, including guided wave propagation in systems operating as transmission lines, and microwave waveguides. The module includes a thorough development of the mathematical tools (field theory, differential operators and the solution of partial differential equations), required for analysis of these types of systems.

Learning Outcomes

1. Mathematically represent an electromagnetic wave and voltage wave.
2. Manipulate the scalar and vector field quantities that arise in time varying electromagnetims and perform vector calculus operations on them.
3. Analyse the propagation of an electromagnetic wave in free space, at a media interfaces, and in various guides.
4. Analyse electromagnetic radiation of an oscillating elemental dipole.
5. Solve various transmission line related problems with or without a Smith chart.
6. Solve various electromagnetic problems.
