Course Code: KIE3004
Course Title: Applied Electromagnetics
Credit Hour: 3
Course Description: Starting with fundamental postulates of electromagnetism, Faradays law is introduced, leading to the discussion on Maxwell’s equations. The study of uniform plane wave includes the propagation of time harmonic plane wave in an unbounded homogeneous medium, the concept of pointing vector and the incidence of plane wave. Overview of the transmission lines will be explained. The general transmission-line equations can be derived from a circuit model, and the study of time harmonic steady-state properties of transmission line is facilitated by the use of graphical chart. Waveguides and basic of antennas will be explained.
