Assoc Prof Peter Farrell| Subject Overview: |
On completion of this subject, students will be able to analyse and compute EM fields for static and time varying cases, and design a variety of electrical transmission networks in the frequency domain using a combination of distributed and lumped circuit elements. Topics include: static electric and magnetic fields in free and material space; time-varying electromagnetic (EM) fields; Maxwell's equations; plane wave propagation of EM fields: transmission lines; transmission line parameters and characteristics; introduction to distributed circuits; matching techniques; Smith Chart; scattering parameters; introduction to microstrip and stripline; introduction to waveguides and antennas. |
|---|---|
| Objectives: |
On completing this subject the student should be able to: 1. Model electromagnetic fields for static and time-varying cases from the underlying physical principles; 2. Apply techniques for the analysis and design electrical transmission networks in the frequency domain; 3. Use software tools to simulate electromagnetic fields. |
| Assessment: | One 3-hour end of semester examination (70%), and assignments (30%). |
