Applications of electromagnetic theory to microwave components and systems.
Introduction to the latest characterization and design techniques
including monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) technology.

How the Earth's atmosphere, space plasma environment, and solar space weather, vary to affect communication, navigation, space science, and remote sensing, across the electromagnetic spectrum.

An in-depth treatment of several analytical techniques used in current practice for solving real-world EM wave propagation problems and their impact on wireless communications.

Computational approaches for applications such as radar signature
prediction, microwave antenna and device design, and modeling
techniques for electronic packaging.

The methodology and application of advanced electromagnetic theory.

The fundamentals of electromagnetic radiation and antennas.

The practical application of the finite-difference time-domain and
finite element techniques to electromagnetic problems. Computer
projects are required.

RF/microwave measurement theory and techniques. Use of state-of-the-art
equipment operating into the GHz range.

This laboratory course will teach microwave measurement/design
fundamentals for both passive and active components. Students will use
both CAD tools and network analyzers.

To introduce satellite communications and navigation system design
including microwave transmission, satellite transponders, earth station
hardware and satellite networks. A design project is required.

Basic methods for characterizing the electromagnetic properties
of common materials (geophysical, biological, etc.) and
techniques for analyzing antennas and wave propagation in these
materials.
