This is an introductory undergraduate level course related to the area of Electromagnetic Field Theory and Microwave Engineering. Based on the intuitive knowledge from General Physics electromagnetic part, the Electromagnetic Field Theory derives the theory from scratch via advanced mathematics. It covers the fundamental principles of electromagnetism: vector fields, electro- and magneto- statics, electric and magnetic properties of materials, time varying fields, Maxwell's equations, radiation and propagation of electromagnetic waves, and antenna and antenna system design. Based on the knowledge of Electromagnetics, Microwave Engineering part provides the essential information which distinguishes a microwave engineer apart from a "normal" electrical engineer. A detailed explanation on the fundamental concepts of Microwave Engineering as well as real life examples will be given. The students will be required to master transmission line theory, microwave network theory, impedance matching and tuning, RF components, noise and nonlinear distortion, and microwave system. This course will be taught completely in English, exposing the students to a full English learning environment and preparing them to communicate with foreign professionals in the area.
After completing this course, a student should be able to:
1. Recognize basic knowledge of electromagnetic field theory and microwave engineering and identify those
topics/problems from "normal" electrical engineering problems.
2. Understand electromagnetic field's propagation characteristics and related interactions with matters.
3. Analyze microwave engineering problems with advanced mathematics, electromagnetic theory and microwave theory and techniques.
Apply electromagnetic fields and microwave technique theory to analyze corresponding electromagnetic
application and microwave component’s performance according to the specific requirements. Select or build the appropriate model, and solve the problem using numerical computational method to complete he design.
4. Implement the project design and create research report that meets the academic requirements through the course design report.
