COMPUTATIONAL METHODS IN ELECTROMAGNETICS

ECE 320

Static and dynamic electromagnetic fields; forces and work in electromechanical systems; magnetic circuits; plane wave propagation; reflection of plane waves; generalized transmission line equations; current and voltage on transmission lines; impedance transformation and matching; Smith charts.

ECE 220

Potential theory; static and dynamic electric and magnetic fields; macroscopic theory of dielectric and magnetic materials; Maxwell's equations; boundary conditions; wave equation; introduction to transmission lines.

ECE 740

Time harmonic fields and waves in linear media with applications to radiation, guiding and scattering; wave and surface impedance and admittance concepts; duality, uniqueness, image theory, equivalence principle, induction and compensation theorems, reciprocity, Green's functions, wave functions, potential and transform theory. Knowledge of electromagnetics [such asE C E 420] strongly encouraged.

ECE 841

Applications of Maxwell's field equations to radiation problems; transmission of radio waves; radiation and impedance characteristics of various antennas and arrays. Analysis of complete antenna systems.

ECE 219

Reviews basic calculations in electromagnetic engineering upon which all higher level concepts and physical model construction are based. It emphasizes quantitative calculation mastery in three spatial dimensions. Applies analysis tools from vector calculus to the calculation and prediction of electrical system properties. Examples include calculating electric and magnetic fields, electric potentials, total electric charge, and electric flux from change or current sources.
