This course covers the basics of electromagnetic waves stressing applications. I will follow the textbook closely and add examples in space-based communications and how electromagnetic waves can be used in research, for example, in astrophysics. There will be a course project. Static electric and magnetic fields. Microwave networks, radiation of electromagnetic waves, electromagnetic properties of materials, optics.
All exams are open book.
The design projects can be done in teams. Informal problem sessions will be held in my office. Midterms will be in class. The final exam is three hours.
