On the successful completion of this module students should be able to:
- Explain and derive the fundamental equations governing electromagnetic fields and waves;
- Apply the fundamental equations to a range of problems with different materials and frequencies, to derive solutions and then interpret the physical and engineering implications of those results;
- Design electromagnetic components to meet given specifications and compare the performance of alternative implementations or approaches;
- Communicate the results of their work in both written and oral form.
- Maxwell's Equations (physical basis and vector calculus formalism);
- Electromagnetic waves in media and at boundaries;
- Electromagnetic analysis and design of waveguiding structures;
- Electromagnetic analysis of devices and components operating over a wide range of frequencies, including optical and radio;
- Antenna and transmission;
- Regulations & standards related to electromagnetic waves and their effects on humans.
