ESE 319 - Electromagnetic Waves and Transmission Lines
Properties of generic uniform plane waves including phase and group velocities. Uniform plane electromagnetic waves (UPEMWs) consisting of an electric field wave and a magnetic field wave, both moving synchronously in space and time; mutual right-handed orthogonality between the electric and magnetic field vectors and the direction of propagation; Poynting vector. Transmission lines (TLs): voltage and current behaving as waves on TLs, voltage reflection coefficient, impedance transformation law, VSWR, Smith Chart, impedance matching. Maxwell equations, EM wave equation, boundary conditions. Scattering of UPEMWs incident normally or obliquely at the interface plane between two dielectric media. Waveguides: TE and TM modes of a rectangular waveguide, cut-off frequencies, dominant mode, power flow. Not for credit in addition to EEO 319 .
