EEL-6486 ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD THEORY, SPRING-1999


Solutions
Course Description:

The first graduate course in time varying electromagnetic fields. This course is being taught at the introductory graduate level as a basis for further study in microwave engineering, antenna theory, power systems, high speed networks, electronics, and computers. Low frequency as well as high frequency problems will be investigated to give a broad and fully rounded approach to the subject.

Goals:

The goal of this course is to integrate Maxwell's equations for time varying field problems into the solution of common problem areas in RF Transmission, Power Frequency Transmission, and Communications.
