ENEL13105  Electromagnetic Fields & Waves

Previous courses in electrical theory studies have focused on the modelling of electrical elements as lumped parameters (Electric Circuit Analysis) and the study of the input/output characteristics of linear systems (Signals & Systems). This course extends students' understanding of the behaviour of electrical circuit elements when the physical dimension of the elements is no longer negligible compared to the wavelength of the interacting signal. The focus of learning will be on the general theory of electromagnetic fields and waves applied to transmission lines, waveguides, antennas and satellite communications.
