Electromagnetic Field Theory

Fall
Required Course:
No

Course Level

Graduate

Units

3

Prerequisite(s)

Graduate standing, ECE 381 or equivalent, and MATH 422

Course Texts

Advanced Engineering Electromagnetics, C.A. Balanis, John Wiley and Sons Inc., New York, 1989. 

Course Description

Course is structured to provide students with the fundamental concepts and analytical techniques associated with engineering electromagnetics (EM). The material is a complete exposure to Maxwell’s equations and their solutions for a variety of problems at an advanced graduate level. This theoretical study provides the student with the basis to deal with a wide range of practical topics including microwave engineering, electronic packaging, millimeter wave engineering, optical engineering, antennas, sensors, remote sensing, electromagnetic interference and electromagnetic compatability. Understanding the fundamentals of electromagnetics is intrinsic to understanding how to analyze and design various types of components, devices, and systems for all of these applications and more.
