Electromagnetics
- Plane waves in free space, topics to include phase velocity,
characteristic impedance, polarization, poynting flux, wavelength,
frequency relations.
- Greens functions (scalar). Ishimaru sections 5-1, 5-2, 5-4, 5-5,
5-6 Be able to describe the application of greens function, as well as
the steps used to create them. In particular, be able to demonstrate
their literal construction for 1D problems.
- method of moments. Ishimaru 18-1, 18-2, and many other
references. Be able to describe the formulation of a Moment Method
problem, describing the steps by which one approximates the solution of
an integral equation by converting it to an equivalent matrix
equation.
