Fall 2025 Lecture Distance Learning Upper DivisionElectromagnetics II builds on Electromagnetics I (ECE 31100) and emphasizes time-varying electromagnetic fields. Both fundamental understanding and an appreciation for applications that span all technologies related to electrical and computer engineering are emphasized. The topics covered include: Maxwell's equations, plane waves, transmission lines, waveguides and cavities, and antennas and radiation. Applications addressed relate to photonics, communications, and imaging and sensing. More generally, illustrations cover the basic principles on which devices and systems used every day operate.
Learning Outcomes1Understand time-varying fields and Maxwell's equations.
2Understand plane electromagnetic waves.
3Understand the theory and application of transmission lines.
4Understand waveguides and cavity resonators.
