Course Handout (Part II) Date: 16/01/2014

In addition to Part-I (General Handout for all courses appended to the time table) this portion gives further specific details regarding the course. Course No. : EEE C433 Course Title : Electromagnetic Fields and Waves Instructor-in-charge : Dr. PRAVEEN KUMAR A.V. (chamber No. 2210-D) (email: praveen.kumar@pilani.bits-pilani.ac.in) Instructors : NA 1. Scope and objective of the course: Electromagnetics is a subject which deals with electric field, magnetic field and the waves constituted by the fields. The revolution in modern electromagnetics started when some experimental laws were generalized and unified into the so called Maxwell's equations which later formed the basis of explaining almost all phenomena found in Electrical and Communication Engineering. The electromagnetic force play pivotal role in electrical machines, communication antennas, microwave ovens, radio frequency particle accelerators, PCBs operating at GHz clocks and even in imparting certain biological effects. This course is divided into two parts- theory and engineering. The theory part will cover concepts like propagation, storage and dissipation of EM waves. The engineering part will use the theoretical understanding to analyze structures such as transmission lines, waveguides and cavity resonators. Emphasis will be placed on the most used range of the EM spectrum - the microwaves. Text Book : John D. Kraus and Daniel A.
