Static and dynamic electromagnetic (EM) fields, Maxwell's equations, uniform plane EM wave propagation, transient and sinusoidal steady-state analysis of transmission lines, Smith charts, Hertzian and magnetic dipole antennas, half-wave dipole antennas, and quarter-wave monopole antennas.

Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) of electronic systems. Topics include signal spectra, inductive coupling, capacitive coupling, common-impedance coupling, s-parameters, non-ideal circuit components, decoupling capacitors and embedded capacitance, signal integrity, EMC filters, common-mode and differential-mode currents and radiation, electromagnetic wave shielding, switch-mode power supply (SMPS) design and testing for conducted and radiated emissions.

A study of printed circuit boards (PCB) design techniques for EMC compliance. Topics include power distribution network, PCB trace on impedance, PCB guard traces, insertion loss and input impedance of PCB based filters, PCB stack-up, return current path, and distribution. Ground techniques on PCBs with power converters is also addressed.
