This course aims to provide an overview of electromagnetic wave propagation through lossless and lossy media. The course also covers boundary conditions that are used to formulate the reflection and refraction of plane waves in different media.
Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:
(1) Recognize the electromagnetic field boundary conditions for dielectric-to-dielectric and dielectric-to-perfectly conducting media interfaces,
(2) Explain Maxwell's equations point form and integral form for the time-varying case,
(3) Utilize Faraday's law for the calculation of induced electromotive force for the conducting lines in magnetic fields,
(4) Analyze the plane electromagnetic waves in loss-free and lossy media.
(5) Evaluate the phasor form of perpendicular and parallel polarized plane waves for perpendicular and oblique incidences to dielectric-to-perfectly conducting and dielectric-to-dielectric media interfaces,
(6) Formulate the total propagating electromagnetic fields and Poynting vector in different media due to the incidence of plane waves to the surface of a dielectric and perfect conducting material.
