1. Scope and objective of the course:
Circuit theory- the tool of an Electrical engineer, is useful when the operating wavelength of the
signal is much larger than the physical size of the circuit. But when the signal wavelength is
comparable to the size, circuit theory fails to give accurate results. Here comes the field theory - an
RF engineer's tool, based on four fundamental electromagnetic (EM) equations, well known as
Maxwell's equations that can be used to analyze a system at any frequency. The diverse theoretical
implications of Maxwell's equations are used to design practical high frequency systems from a
compact microstrip circuit such as a mobile phone antenna to a gigantic particle accelerator such as
the Large Hadron collider. In addition to the useful effects, high frequency waves can impart certain
unwanted effects also, such as interference (EMI) in electrical systems, radiation hazards to biological
tissues etc. Students registered in this course need to have a good knowledge of electromagnetic
theory and Maxwell's equations. Focus will be placed on the engineering aspects, especially on the
most applied range of the spectrum - the microwaves.
