Objectives:
Destributed circuit principles and analysis techniques.
Application of electromagnetics to various sensing, activation, and communications applications.
Basic knowledge of electromagnetic concepts.
To develop a knowledge of the implementation of various electromagnetic systems
Principles of electromagnetics applied to, the fundamental elements of high frequency electronics
Frequency concepts and the basic limitations imposed on circuits
Develop a basic knowledge of guided electromagnetic waves, radiation, and diffraction
Course content and expected outcomes- knowledge of:
Destributed high frequency circuit abstraction:
small number of simple elements to
describe a wide variety of wave propagation phenomena
Time and frequency
domain representations
steady state analysis, energy storing
elements, power transmission
Analog and digital
signal propagation limitations imposed by electromagnetics
reflections, dispersion, matching
Engineering
tradeoffs
power, speed, accuracy
Specific subjects learned:
Electromagnetic variables
(charge, current, power, energy,
resistance, impedance, frequency, and basic electomagnetic fields and potentials)
Termination and boundary conditions.
(including sources and
amplifiers with the use of scattering parameters )
Operational
amplifier based gain-stages
(ideal opamps, concept of negative
feedback, no stability analysis)
Energy storing
devices
(capacitors and inductors)
Time-domain
analysis
(1st order RC and RL response of terminated transmission lines)
Steady state
frequency domain analysis
(phasors, impedance, matching, reflection and transmission)
Analog / Digital
signals
(signal propagation distortion due to dispersion, reflections and loss)
Simulation
(SPICE /HFSS, dc, ac, transient analysis and field configurations)
Laboratory
(basic electromagnetics such as Faraday's law, slotted line measurements, network analyzer, function generator,
hand’s on experience with all topics listed above)
