ECET 36400 - Fundamentals of Electromagnetics

Credit Hours: 3.00.

This course introduces the fundamentals of electromagnetics in both theory and application. Wave propagation, transmission lines, port parameters, antenna theory, and antenna design are studied. Other topics include Maxwell’s equations, propagation losses, RF signal measurement, impedance matching, and Smith chart applications.

Learning Objectives:

1. Demonstrate knowledge of transmission line theory and application.

2. Apply and analyze transmission line systems using Smith carts.

3. Demonstrate the fundamentals and use of port parameters.

4. Design impedance matching networks using analytical methods and Smith charts.

5. Demonstrate and apply electromagnetic theory.

6. Describe and apply the fundamentals of electromagnetic wave propagation.

7. Design, simulate and analyze antennas.

8. Use RF simulation software for the analysis and design of RF circuits.

9. Demonstrate the use of RF laboratory equipment including the vector network analyzer, spectrum analyzer and RF generator.
