In the present course, students will be illuminated with the EM fields in a gradual fashion. As the students are
well-versed in the first year’s circuit theory, it would be ideal to start with a more accurate form of circuit
theory, the transmission line theory. Transmission line theory sets the foundation for many modern day high
frequency designs such as high-speed digital circuits, fiber optic links, mobile communication etc. Students
will experience for the first time the concept of waves of voltage and current that exist in high frequency AC
circuits. Next, EM field theory will be introduced as the generalized approach for solving problems that are
beyond the scope of transmission line theory. Essential mathematical tools will be reviewed. Next,
fundamental laws of electromagnetics leading to the formulation of well-known Maxwell’s equations, will be

expensively covered. The generation and propagation of EM waves that enable wireless communication will
be discussed as the last (but not least) part. Students will also be exposed to hands-on simulations of
transmission line problems using LTspice simulator from Analog Devices (free download at
