18-402 Applied Electrodynamics

12 units, Carnegie Mellon University

This course builds upon the electric and magnetic field foundations established in 18300 to describe phenomena and devices where electromagnetic waves are a central issue. Topics include review of Maxwells equations, propagation of uniform plane waves in lossless and lossy media, energy conservation as described by the Poynting Theorem, reflection and transmission with normal and oblique incidence upon boundaries, sinusoidal steady state and transients on 2conductor transmission lines, modal descriptions of waveguides, radiation and antennas. 4 hrs. lec.
