Electromagnetics and Applications

This is a course description for Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s (MIT) course 6.013, Electromagnetics and Applications.  The course explores electromagnetic phenomena in modern applications, such as: wireless communications, circuits, computer interconnects and peripherals, optical fiber links and components, microwave communications and radar, antennas, sensors, micro-electromechanical systems, motors, and power generation and transmission. Fundamentals covered include: quasistatic and dynamic solutions to Maxwell's equations; waves, radiation, and diffraction; coupling to media and structures; guided and unguided waves; resonance; and forces, power, and energy. Additionally, the site contains lecture notes, assignments, and exams.  This course description is part of MIT OpenCourseWare, an initiative of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to put all of the educational materials from its undergraduate and graduate-level courses online and make them freely accessible.
