Electromagnetic Engineering

This course builds up on electro- and magneto-statics to complete the foundations of electromagnetic theory by including time-varying phenomena. As such, the course focusses on electrodynamic fields and waves, with their applications in electrical and electronic engineering. Topics include: Brief review of electrostatics and magnetostatics, electric and magnetic fields in materials, Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction, capacitance and inductance in circuit models, differential and integral forms of Maxwell's equations, boundary field conditions, electromagnetic waves, scattering of plane waves from media boundaries, guided-waves and transmission lines, radiation, antenna fundamentals, propagation of electromagnetic waves.
