EE 415 - Electromagnetics

Institution:

Point Park University

Subject:

Description:

Introduction to classical electromagnetics. Three-dimensional vectors and coordinate systems. Description of electric, magnetic, and electromagnetic fields using Maxwell's equations. Theory and applications of transmission lines. Propagation of guided and unguided waves. Introduction to antennas. Laboratory includes the use of vector network analysis and S parameters in microwave measurement and design. Prerequisites: EE 222 (Electronics II), MATH 300 (Calculus III). Course Objectives Upon successful completion of the course, students will be able to: (1) Describe and analyze three-dimensional vector quantities using the rectangular, cylindrical, and spherical coordinate systems. (2) Apply tools of vector calculus including divergence, gradient, curl, path integration, surface integration, and volume integration in the solution of electromagnetics problems. (3) Identify the experimental laws that form the basis of modern electromagnetic theory. (4) Express Maxwell's equations succinctly using the notation of vector calculus. (5) Solve electromagnetics problems and analyze electromagnetic devices using Maxwell's equations. (6) Characterize wave propagation on transmission lines using time domain reflectometry and vector network analysis. (7) Design, construct, and test a single-transistor microstrip amplifier using scattering (S) parameter techniques. (8) Maintain an accurate and complete laboratory notebook according to accepted industry standards.
