Learning Outcomes
After successfully completing this subject students will be able to apply their understanding of Maxwell's equations to the solution of problems encountered in the field of radio wave and optical communications, understand the theory of transmission lines, waveguides and antennas and be able to use this knowledge in basic engineering applications.Prerequisite
Introduction to Software Engineering, and Introduction to Computer Engineering, and Electronic Systems.Syllabus
This unit provides the integrated development of electromagnetic theory necessary to address the applications areas of radio communications, microwave communications, optical fibre communications, antennas, satellite communications, and wireless communications. Major topics include electromagnetic concepts, complex algebra, plane waves, separated variable analysis, Maxwell's equations, free space and guided electromagnetic wave propagation, transmission lines, waveguides and antennas.Class Contact
