CMPE 330 - Electromagnetic Waves and Transmission (3)

This course provides an introduction to waves, transmission lines, and electromagnetics with the focus on computer engineering and communications applications. The physical limits on Kirchoff’s Laws are discussed, along with the following topics: a review of phasor and vector quantities; transmission lines in the time domain and the frequency domain; electrostatics, magnetostatics, and the calculation of the capacitance and inductance in transmission lines; time-varying electromagnetic fields; the integral, differential, and phasor forms of Maxwell’s equations; plane waves and polarization effects, including transmission and reflection from surfaces; and an introduction to waveguides. Note: Completion of the Computer Engineering Gateway required.
