Electro Magnetic Field Theory (IEC-302)

Welcome to Course Home Page of Electromagnetic Field Theory. This is a mandatory introductory subject(Communication field) for the second year undergraduate of Electronics & Communication Engineering at Integral University, Lucknow.

Course Objective

As part of this course, students:

1. Develop an understanding of the fundamental concepts of electromagnetic fields, with an emphasis on wave propagation.

2. Relate basic electromagnetic concepts to the performance of devices.

Learning Outcomes

After successful completion of this course, students should be able to:

1. Calculate the electric field, scalar potential, stored energy, and capacitance associated with simple distributions of charge.

2. Calculate the magnetic field, stored energy, and inductance for simple distributions of current density.

3. Identify an electromagnetic wave and determine parameters (frequency, phase constant and velocity, associated intrinsic impedance) and power density.

4. Apply boundary conditions to determine current and charge densities produced on conducting boundaries by applied fields.

5. Identify Maxwell's equations and apply them in both their integral and differential forms to time-varying field problems.

6. Determine the attenuation constant, phase constant, and skin depth for waves in a lossy medium, where the conductivity may range from low to high.

7. Distinguish between linear polarization, circular polarization, and elliptical polarization.

8. Calculate reflection and transmission coefficients and fields for uniform plane waves normally-incident and obliquely-incident on planar interfaces.

9. Determine parameters associated with waves on lossless and lossy transmission lines, including frequency, phase velocity & attenuation.

10. Design transmission line terminations to minimize reflections and maximize received power.

11. Determine frequency-domain parameters associated with a transmission line system, including input impedance, reflection coefficient, and SWR.

12. Analyze transmission line problems in the frequency domain with complex load impedance, to determine input and load voltage/current, power delivered.
