COEN 1830 - Special Topics
Primary Instructor
-
Fall 2023
Explores topics of interest in transitioning to the College of Engineering and succeeding in STEM majors.
ECEN 3400 - Electromagnetic Fields and Waves
Primary Instructor
-
Spring 2019
Electromagnetic fields are covered at an introductory level, starting with electrostatics and continuing with DC current, magnetostatics, time-varying magnetic fields, waves on transmission lines, Maxwell's equations and the basics of plane waves. The use of fields in inductors, capacitors, resistors, transformers, and energy and power concepts are studied.

Primary Instructor
-
Spring 2019 / Spring 2020 / Spring 2023
Covers reflected and transmitted plane waves in layered media, Poynting's theorem of electromagnetic power, two-conductor transmission line theory and practice, Smith chart usage and impedance matching, waveguides, and elements of antenna theory.
ECEN 4634 - Microwave and RF Laboratory
Primary Instructor
-
Fall 2019 / Spring 2021
Introduce RF and microwave measurement methods. A laboratory course whose experiments build on material learned in ECEN 3410: electromagnetic waves, transmission lines, waveguides, time-domain reflection, frequency-domain measurement, microwave networks, impedance matching, antenna pattern measurement, radar and simple nonlinear concepts such as harmonics, square-law detection, mixing and transmitter/receiver applications. Same as ECEN 5634.
