Description
Fundamental equations of electromagnetic fields (potentials and acoustic waves). Waves in inhomogeneous and stratified media: fast, backward, leaky, Zenneck waves, and plasmons. Waveguides and cavities: eigenfunctions, dispersion diagrams, pulse dispersion, and electromagnetic velocities. Green's functions: eigenfunction series, Wronskian, and Fourier transform. Radiation through apertures and beam waves: extinction theorem, Fresnel and Fraunhofer diffraction. Periodic structures: including coupled-mode theory. Dispersive and anisotropic media: plasmas, ferrites, related components, and metamaterials. Scattering by conducting and dielectric objects: Rayleigh and acoustic scattering. Planar structures and waveguides: complex-plane integration, physical interpretation, and excitation of homogeneous and inhomogeneous substrates. Elements of multi-scale and multi-physics electromagnetics.
