Electromagnetic Fundamentals

ENG EC 565

Fundamentals of electromagnetic theory as deduced from Maxwell's equations and material modeling; electromagnetic radiation and quasistatic limits in electromagnetic modeling. Radio frequency coaxial cables; VLSI interconnects, transmission lines. Waveguides and resonators; both dielectric and hollow. Particle tracking, plasmas, microwave sources, with applications. Depending on time and interest: numerical methods (variational formulations will be emphasized whenever practical), inverse problems; applications of magnetics and superconductivity.
