This course is used to introduce the student to electromagnetic waves, reflection and refraction, waveguides, transmission lines, and radiating systems. In addition to regular homework assignments, students will be involved in computer design projects in which the students will develop computer programs to analyze and design electromagnetic systems. Students completing EE 415 should have an understanding of Maxwell's Equations and their applications in plane wave propagation, reflection and refraction, transmission line systems, and waveguides. Complex algebra and phasor concepts. Electrostatics and Magnetostatics.
Students use computer equipment of their choice in their computer design projects.
Students develop computer programs and use them together with other software tools to analyze and design multiple layered media or multiple section, lossy transmission -line systems.
