Subject Description	On completion of this subject, students will be able to analyse and compute EM fields for static and time varying cases, and design a variety of electrical transmission networks in the frequency domain using a combination of distributed and lumped circuit elements. Topics include: static electric and magnetic fields in free and material space; time-varying electromagnetic (EM) fields; Maxwell's equations; plane wave propagation of EM fields: transmission lines; transmission line parameters and characteristics; introduction to distributed circuits; matching techniques; Smith Chart; scattering parameters; introduction to microstrip and stripline; introduction to waveguides and antennas.
Assessment	One 3-hour end of semester examination (70%), test (10%), and laboratories and problems exercises (20%).
