This course takes an in-depth look at electromagnetic plane waves. Highlights include the Poynting theorem, Snell’s Law and polarization characteristics, as well as power density of electromagnetic waves, propagation in a lossy medium, and reflection and transmission of electromagnetic waves at dissimilar dielectric boundaries. This course was developed by Kathryn Leigh Smith, Asst. Prof. in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of North Carolina-Charlotte in partnership with Ansys.
