Goals

    2. 1. To develop a student’s ability to deal with solving Maxwell’s equations in rectangular and cylindrical coordinates for different classical geometries.

    2. To develop a student’s ability to understand the physics of waves and their propagation behavior for classical geometries.

    3. To give the student a working knowledge in designing classical wave guiding and transmission line systems including matching and  measurement techniques.
