Presentation Transcript
(1) Broad range of applications Common properties: - An EM wave consists of E-field and H-field that oscillate at the same frequency. - The propagation speed in free space is the speed of light (3 x 108 m/s).
(2) Electromagnetics is the most fundamental branch of electrical engineering. Circuit theory is nothing but a low-frequency approximation (l << , h << for lumped circuits or h << for distributed circuits) to electromagnetic theory. As frequency increases, the circuit theory falls apart and the electromagnetic theory must be used.
(3) Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) The ability of a device (a) to function in the presence of various external EM disturbances and (b) not to interfere with the operation of other devices located nearby.
