Course Objective and Content

Course Objectives: Electromagnetic Fields and Waves course is essential to provide students with a solid understanding of propagation of electromagnetic waves in various mediums and help the students to have in-depth knowledge of and true interpretation on various parameters and mathematical models regarding the wave propagation. The related concepts are also essential and vital to be learnt by the student in order to take other relating courses such as antennas.
Course Content: This course introduces students to various concepts of electromagnetic wave propagation. It covers topics such as time-varying electromagnetic fields, Faraday's law; displacement current, Maxwell's equations in point and integral forms; wave propagation in free space, dielectrics, and good conductors, skin effect; Poynting vector and power considerations; wave polarization; reflection of uniform plane waves at perpendicular and oblique incidence angles; standing wave ratio.

Learning Outcomes

The students who have succeeded in this course;
1) Have a good understanding of time-varying electromagnetic fields, displacement current, and Maxwell's equations in point and integral forms.
2) Model the wave propagation in various mediums by means of partial differential equations (in vector and scalar forms) in addition to solve the mathematical models to find the desired fields.
3) Calculate the Poynting vector and determine the power flow of an electromagnetic wave.
4) Be familiar with important concepts such as wave polarization, skin effect, etc.
5) Have good knowledge of wave reflection from interfaces at various incidence angles.
