EE 5210 - Electromagnetics and Transmission Lines

3 lecture hours 0 lab hours 3 credits
Course Description
This course introduces the concepts of electromagnetics and transmission lines and puts into practice their application. The course covers a wide diversity of topics including static electric and magnetic fields, the Maxwell Equation, time-varying electromagnetic fields, wave propagation, transmission lines, electromagnetic radiation, and principles of radiation from an antenna. This course will introduce students to vector analysis techniques, which are used to analyze electromagnetic fields. By learning to calculate electric fields and properties of sending signals, students will gain a better understanding of the fundamental principles of electrical engineering. Students will apply these principles in a range of practices including power generation, power transmission, and wired and wireless signal transmission. (prereq: Graduate standing, MA-235 or equivalent, PH-220 or equivalent)
