EE 415 Electromagnetics II
- 1996-97 Catalog Data: 3 credits
- Distributed parameter circuits, transmission lines, wave-guides, antennas and radiating systems. Prerequisite: EE 315.
- Textbooks:
- Engineering Electromagnetic Fields and Waves, Second Edition, by Carl Johnk, John Wiley and Sons.
- Reference:
- Electromagnetic Waves and Radiating Systems, by E. C. Jordan and K. G. Balmain, Prentice Hall.
- Electromagnetic Wave Propagation, D. W. Dearholt and W. R. McSpadden, McGraw-Hill.
- Fields and Waves in Communication Electronics, by Simon Ramo, John R. Whinnery, and Theodore Van Duzer, John Wiley and Sons.
- Coordinator:
- Steven P. Castillo, Associate Professor of Electrical and Computer
Engineering
- Goals:
- This course is used to introduce the student to electromagnetic waves,
reflection and refraction, waveguides, transmission lines, and radiating
systems. In addition to regular homework assignments, students will be
involved in computer design projects in which the students will develop
computer programs to analyze and design electromagnetic systems.
- Students completing EE 415 should have an understanding of Maxwell's
Equations and their applications in plane wave propagation, reflection and
refraction, transmission line systems, and waveguides.
- Prerequisites by topic:
- Vector analysis.
- Complex algebra and phasor concepts.
- Electrostatics and Magnetostatics.
- Topics:
- Review vectors, complex variables, electrostatics, and magnetostatics. (5 classes)
- Uniform Plane Waves (7 classes)
- Wave Polarization (3 classes)
- Uniform Plane Waves in Lossy Media (3 classes)

- Reflection and Refraction in Multilayered Media (2 classes)
- Computer Usage:
- Students use computer equipment of their choice in their computer design projects.
- Computer design projects:
- Students develop computer programs and use them together with other software tools to analyze and design multiple layered media or multiple section, lossy transmission -line systems.
